Im proud of that fight, it was made in Venezuela
@frank581949 I now understand why Ali called him mummy : ) )
I now understand why Ali not give REMATCH to George Foreman
because Ali had great difficulty in overcoming Boxers like Ken Norton and Joe Frazier….. Boxers Foreman defeated without difficulty !! Probably Ali and his clan knew Ali was very lucky has won at Zair because it gives the appearance that he has been scheming so that the REMATCH Ali / Foreman is never held
that Ali is considered the greatest heavyweight of all time . The clan Ali knew in a REMATCH Foreman would win very easily .

@darrylhaynes Carrot Top vs. Brett Michaels!
@frank581949 No, Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight of all. 25 title defenses, 21 KOs, 17 of whom did not make the count. Foreman lost to Jimmy Young after Ali..He tried to KO 5 stiffs in T.O. Then he quit. Good decision. Became a minister, got a life and then came back a wiser man and a smarter fighter. There is no way Foreman could have beaten Ali at this time. His head was all messed up. But he claims even now he was poisoned by Sandy Sadler who is long dead and can’t defend himself.
@frank581949
If you go there then Foreman shouldn’t have ducked LARRY HOLMES who trained with and simular to Ali. Why go after an aging Ali (who by 1977 couldn’t even beat Norton, Holmes, Jimmy Young etc. etc.) when there’s an excellent Larry Holmes. Ali was almost done after the Thrilla fight. He should’ve just quit after that hard fight.
So by 1978/79 there’s a fresh undefeated Larry Holmes ready for the challenge. But instead Foreman RETIRES!
So maybe Foreman is NOT the greatest.
@frank581949 You have raised a very good & interesting point.
Beating 2 “monster” boxers made the Ali legend. Beating Sonny Liston made Ali great. But beating George Foreman made Ali immortal. It was his greatest achievement. But he was probably scared that George would have learnt his lesson in a re-match. Remember, in the run-in to the fight, people were not just worried about Ali losing. They were afraid for his very life !
both guys norton and foreman were great fighters but foreman proved he was greater i love mike tyson but i think foreman is the biggest puncher in boxing history
