    Then you realize you can go to YouTube and find 100 videos of Foreman calling out Ali back in the 70s and Ali avoiding him. Lol Ali beat Foreman so easily? By laying on the ropes and praying Foreman got tired? Yeah that was some butt whipping he gave Foreman. Do you watch boxing because you love the sport or do you watch it to see guys without their shirts on? Because clearly you don't know a damn thing about boxing.

    Really? I can see videos of Ali ducking Foreman? Hundreds of videos of Foreman calling out Ali after Ali kicked his ass? No. Fights arent negotiated or made by one moron blithering into a camera. Foreman never seriously pursued Ali after suffering a one sided schooling resulting in a KO loss that screwed his head beyond all recognition and hss had him grasping for excuses ever since. But you keep believing in fairytales all you want...

    Very true. Foreman disappeared for 15 months after losing to Ali. (Aside from the debacle in Toronto). When he came back it was only active a little over a year before he lost to Young and retired.

    Ali stated later on the Arsinio Hall show when asked why there was not an Ali Foreman 2 ...."we tried to make the fight but George did not want it".

    Would someone please teach Perry how to use the quote function as it is impossible to work out who the hell he is replying to.

    If a past-prime Duran gave Haggler a run for his money-then it isn't at all far-fetched to assume that Canelo, who has greater hand speed than Duran and throws a far greater variety of punches, could also have been competitive against Hagler.

    BTW
    When Foreman requested a rematch from Ali over the phone Ali responded with:

    "Are you crazy?" :risas3:
