Main Reason there was no Ali-Foreman II?

[THE THIRD MAN]

I just watched Round 1 again and a lot of the damage in that fight took place there and then. Ali hit George several times with left/right combinations and his right hand leads had George confused. Nobody had done that to George before. George was puffy around the left eye by round 2, he look bewildered. Ali knew he had his man early on in the fight, it was only a matter of time. George only had one basic plan and that was to load up and swing from the bleechers, by round 8 Foreman's tank was empty.
George states he was psychologically damaged after the Ali fight, Ali was never the same either after the Thriller In Manilla. Perhaps it's best we didn't see them go at it again.
How would Holmes have handled a 30 year old more experienced big George in 1979?
Foreman was a beast, tamed by one of the greatest ring tacticians of all time.

Good question about George v Holmes that would be really interesting. I would go with Holmes.

That is my all time favorite fantasy match up. I go with Holmes too. Would of done his legacy the world of good.

I think Holmes beats all those guys from the 60's/ 70's.

Not Ali but may be Frazier, now that would be a classic Holmes v Frazier.

I think Frazier gives Holmes as much trouble as he gave ALI, Holmes probably would have outboxed big George. Holmes possessed one of the best jabs in boxing history, it would only be a matter of staying away from Foreman's big shots. (easier said than done) A 30 yr old experienced big George would have been a formidable foe, but Holmes by decision. Frazier would be a nightmare for Holmes, all those angles, all that movement and that left hook!

Holmes not only had the best jab ever of the heavyweight greats he also had an amazing chin and recovery powers. I think that would have helped him survive and beat Frazier. It would have been a a hell of a fight.

Holmes was tough, i just watched the Shavers knockdown, now if big George hits him like that what happens? I miss the 70's and all the great Heavyweights that were around then. Holmes deserves more credit than he gets, he would have made Lewis look foolish.
