    Ali beat him because of his
    stamina.

    Hard to say. Ali, Lyle, and Young all knocked him down in the 70's. In the 90's, an older version stood up to much harder punchers without going down.

    Not chinny, just stamina issues.

    No, Holyfield hit him with everything but the Kitchen sink and Big George kept punching.
    He wasn't bothered by Shannon Briggs either.

    Goodddd, is this such a dull time in boxing that we start to question Foreman's chin? For christ's sake...
