    Only a guy that was sick in the head would want to see that one.

    Foreman KO1

    RockysSplitNose would probably claim that both were equally shot though.

    Maybe I should have said old Foreman and Old Ali, I think Foreman was the superior fighter in their later years.

    Or maybe you should've said old Foreman was still a viable contender and Ali was obviously completely shot and had Parkinson's and therefore this thread is beyond ******ed?

    Ali was in his early stages of Parks syndrome in Oct. 1980... Meanwhile, Foreman was a hearty and robust 42 year old powerhouse against Holy in 1991... WTF do you think would occur in a time machine? '91 Foreman KILLS '80 Ali.....

    As Foreman said in his later years about a shot Ali, "I am sorry I ever hit the guy".

    People can pop jokes all they want. George still had serious definition on those 20" pipes even at 48. :smoke
