    Yeah KuRuPT,...we're in agreement there. Not denying that Ali was very strong, but Foreman was exceptional,...he's been let down by his lack of stamina in the early days, and lack of ability to cope with clever fighters, but his strength was always top drawer...the strongest of the heavyweight champs IMO.

    I agree with this. Its wierd cause foremann liston etc seemed much stronger than ali overall. Ali seemed a master at nullyfying peoples strength. I genuinely put it down to a mind thing. Ali was strong himself but no match for them if you look at either outwith ali anyway.

    Its like he used some kind of jedi trick on them. Like watching someone getting bullied by someone they can actually beat up...the mind plays a big part of it all. A lot of bullies use it to get and keep the upperhand. Not saying ali was a bully but its like his stronger mindset offset their strength advantage. Or something like that anyway.
