Was George Foreman cheated in Rumble in the Jungle?

Foreman was drugged as well.

And his kids might or might not have been kidnapped before the fight. Haven't seen any substantial evidence they weren't.

 

Blast from the past!

 

You are literally the first person I have ever read pointing out Foreman was up at eight, and it was still called off. Amazing!!!

 

George recently said he knew he was in trouble after the 3rd round. He has repeatedly said that Ali showed class when he didn't hit him on the way down because Ali knew he was out.

 

Who saw him?What is his name? ? Who brought it up and to whom?
Dundee took it on himself to stop the fight ,and you can hear him shouting at the referee," I'm stopping it I'm the chief second!"

 

He was up before 10, and should've been allowed to lose next time he went down.

 

Like I said earlier in thread - people should actually just watch the fights that these myths are generated by.

 

Who's irrational with Ali? I just said Foreman didn't look too hurt to me and if he did indeed beat the count he should have been allowed to continue. there is no disputing that Ali had many things miraculously just go his way throughout his career. I think he did a fine job on foreman in this fight, that doesn't mean I want it to end prematurely.

 

Neither Foreman nor his corner protested the stoppage, and George almost looked relieved to be counted out. You can hardly claim he was robbed of a chance to continue when he didn't appear to want to.

 

Of cours I can. The corner not protesting the stoppage has no bearing on if a ref should stop a fight.

 

Yeah, there's plenty of disputing, you utter reprobate.

 

ali nut hugger!

 

If anyone is allowed to continue ... it should have been Meldrick Taylor !!!

 

that was a shame, Mel was great! But the ref asked him something and he didn't respond, I wish he did

 

Rocky would eat them both for appetizers before fighting 300 Spartans.
