Ali is the embodiment of a champion. He has charisma, style, skill, chin and a massive heart. One of the greatest resume of all boxing. Duck no one. Beating 2 of the most fear opponent in his era in Liston and Foreman. In the foreman fight, most fear for his life. I think even Ali was not sure how to fight this monster. I believe he actually took more punishment than Foreman in this fight, his heart and perserverence carried him through.
Watched this years ago. The thing with Ali was that in his prime he was this masterful boxer that was so slick for his size. He was so fast with box feet and hand. His jab was like a pistol, he was just a wonderful boxer to watch. Later in his career, Ali showed another side of him. He showed courage, a decent chin, and a huge desire to win. Together, it made Ali the most complete boxer. A boxer with huge ability, but also a boxer that could take huge amount of punishment, and had the mental strenth to dig deep to win. He truly was and is the greatest heavyweight that has ever lived.
It was the only Time the Monster Foreman was ever TKOd in a long career of over 70 Fights....Foreman had a Granite Chin..and a 32 Year Old Ali Exploited it...absolute Champion who really spent a lot of His Prime not being able to Fight.!!!!
