    To quote Young “I will stay too close and too far away” Young knew Foreman’s range of effectiveness, Ali used similar weaknesses.

    I feel like I'm in Bizarro world. These responses are insane.

    I threw the exact quote into Google along with "Foreman Young New York Times" and it directed me to a New York Times article stating that Foreman was a 3-1 favorite over...Muhammed Ali.

    Could you provide a link or an apology?

    The claim wasn't mine.

    I'm still waiting for the odds. You obviously know them after claiming Foreman to be a "huge favorite". Or were you just making it up?

    I searched it on Google and and I got 3-1 or 4-1.

    I don't know how to post a screenshot on here so I made it my avatar so you can read it.

    Google AI produces a lot of garbage. 3-1 traces to Zaire.

    Yeah it might be mixing up the Zaire odds I can't find any real concrete evidence of the Foreman/Young odds.

    So your guess is as good as mine.
