    I was at the fight. The Boxrec review and watching a replay of it shows the 5 round thing.

    But when you go to fights live you get a different feel. And it never felt for a minute Joe was going to win. All he was doing was surviving. Anything he did land had zero effect. Ending was Academic. George kept swinging and landing enough where it was taking an effect on Joe. You could see it and taste it. Eddie Futch sure sensed it, didn't he? When joe got dropped the first time, eddie was there with the towel in his hand and it wasn't going much longer. And it didn't.

    And he was by far the fan favorite because nobody liked Foreman back then. He was the bad guy.

    But George wasn't pressing on the gaspedal under Gil Clancy. That's the sole reason the bout went 5. the version from 73 would have fought a different and far more aggressive fight. Clancy was trying to get George to loosen up and throw straight punches, like he was Rodrigo Valdez or Jorge Ahumada.

    What? Manilla would've killed anybody but Frazier. Ali admitted this.

    No Ali won because he outsmarted and outfought George. Not because of chin.

    Frazier was obviously taking a lot more on the chin than Ali. OBVIOUSLY.

    Yeah, sometimes it seems such moronic statements are made only for conflict, nothing more. (or a bad joke)

    Frazier had to be in the danger zone to beat Foreman

    One bad eye inside vs a sledgehammer like Foreman I just dont see it

    Frazier cant beat him outside and cant survive inside
