Rumble in the Jungle: Could Ali have boxed like that for 15?

If George had managed to carry on into the ninth,Muhammad would've hurt him pretty badly. Foreman was exhausted.

 

I don't know. If Foreman continued for another couple of rounds like he started the 5:th... Ali could not have kept up that pace for another 10, I don't think.

 

Ali looked a lot fresher in his corner during the actual fight than was portrayed in either his portrayal of himself,or the Will Smith one.

 

Muhammad was a force of nature that night. No way was he ever going to come out of that ring as anything but the victor.

 

:good

 

I don't think that he took as much punishment on that night as he did in some of his later fights.

 

ali could have gone 15 easy.he wasn,t the problem.the problem was foreman couldn,t continue at the pace he started the 5th.he ran out of gas remember

 

He did make the count.

 

But the thread question was "what if he hadn't?" That's what I answered.

 

That's what I was thinking too. But on the other hand, I'm sure Foreman's power would have continued to diminish over the later rounds.
