Main Reason there was no Ali-Foreman II?

Always have to wonder how this would have gone the 2nd time round. Really has to be the fight I most would have wanted to see, except for maybe Tyson-Holyfield circa 1990. No way does rope-a-dope work the 2nd time round. No way. I say Big George pumps 50 telephone-pole jabs per round until it sucks all the energy out of ali's back and neck. Big George. Big George.

See ali fought Frazier and Norton 3 times but wouldnt dare touch Foreman again. I heard he had blood in his urine from contused kidneys for 4 weeks after the fight.

foreman would have beaten ali 9 times out of 10 at that point in their careers

the build up and the crowd, everything went against george

[brocktonblockbust]

i agree. and maybe those ropes ARE a bit rubbery there, hey? check it out. ever see ropes like that, EVER?

I'm sure George stated it never happened because he didn't want it to... not really sure what version of george said that... the real one or the PR one

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Yeah Fat George was very... erm... 'Polite' when it came to talking about his previous opponents.

[johnsebastianmiran]

The crowd and the public had made Ali a golden boy just like the Flashing grin of Leonard. Duran and Foreman were the bad guys but Foreman was bad. He was angry but in his second career he evolved. Even though his favorite food was a Burger King burger, he did not get excited and his jab became more of a club. The laughed at him and he kept winning. If George developed this personality change back then his career would have been very different and talk about fear, who would enter the ring without pre-paid hospital insurance.

George did say that more then once...He went into a state of depression after the fight...He siad he lost his conmfidence after ward and when he lost to Young he said he really thought he would never fight again

The win was the upset of all upsets... Except no one was upset, so everyone forgot it was an upset

Seriously though, i'm kinda glad people are starting to look into just how inflated Ali's gold plated resume is.
