Who Believes That Foreman Was Drugged In Zaire?

Yeah then Foreman was knocked out by exhaustion. The mans chin was made of granite in Zaire, sheer granite.

 

Ali still does own him. He's still got him tucked away in his garage. I've heard he might well be looking to sell him on ebay soon.

I might stick a bid in.

 

Tell me what score out of 10 would you give Foreman for chin?

 

8

And me bringing it up again. The 'exhaustion' is strictly a laugh. It was a disagreement at one point which kindly developed into a good laugh, hence the reason I brung it back up on this thread. Just thought I'd let you know that.

 

The dude that sleeps in the park down the street and wears a tin-foil hat so that the aliens can't read his thoughts. He's convinced that Foreman was drugged, and he makes quite an argument as well. Up until he whips his junk out and starts chasing people around, screaming about Nazi gremlin transvestites.

 

No worries, just thought we could expand a bit, in a friendly way of course

Ok, so Foreman's an 8. Personally i'd be looking a teeny bit higher.

How about the below fighters

Holmes
Ali
Norton
Frazier

Also, how clean a stoppage would you rate the Zaire one?

As well, do you think the same punch would have had the same affect in round 1 or 2?

 

The film clearly shows the natural progression of fatigue on a powerhouse of a man who tried his darndest to overwhelm his prey, but instead got worn out by an opponent who was hitting him every round with some sharp head shots and making him miss or graze, move and basically fight at a clip he wasn't used to. Ali drugged Foreman by outfighting and outlasting him, and the substance of a great right hand. The rumors are just that.

 

No excuses. Foreman got his ass kicked.

 

Oh no, not another Ali conspiracy theory.

George could never just accept the defeat, could he?

 

Love the avatar

 

Thanks. I got playing the Incredible Hulk game and it inspired the avatar.

 

It took 20 years, but Foreman admitted in interviews in 94/95, that Ali won fair and square.

Foreman was his own worse enermy in Zaire, if he had not brought his dog with him, being the darker skinned fighter he could of expected his fair share of fans.

Getting cut in sparring did not help his cause, but was his and his teams problem not Ali's.

 

I saw an interview last night where Foreman claims a friend gave him tainted water, here it is. It appears to be in the last ten years or so.

Sad in a way that George hasn't learned to accept that loss. Can he truly believe that Sadler drugged him? I knew they had a falling out, but...
