A great quote. Could you imagine Muhammad Ali doing this? Remember, this is the same man that cocked back his right hand and didn't throw it so it didn't ruin the aesthetics of such a knockdown. Of course, he also didn't punch a man falling because he knew he didn't have to. This to Foreman's mind is what made Ali the greatest fighter he ever fought. And Foreman does bull**** from time to time but you might understand why he would say it. Because he knows if the shoe was on the other fought he wouldn't have had the humanity and honor in not stopping himself from throwing that right hand.
That was one of the worst intentional butts I've seen. Don't buy the 24/7 hype and HBO propaganda, Ortiz is not really the kind hearted child we are made to believe. He already got his hug in after. Excessive hugging/kissing/glove touching has no place in boxing- this aint euro soccer.
Those are good points. But may I be devil's advocate and point out that Ali was a very hated man by the general public in his day, albeit for different and noble reasons.
