I think a lot of his staying power was to do with having the right mental attitude.

Lets not forget Ali took a lot of punches to the back of the head in his career, which does not hurt but can do damage to your health in the long run. This was to with his slight slip where he would turn his body slightly and the shot would hit the back of his skull.

Have not seen these epic fights recently but if as you say he wound up Foreman, but he played defensively and possum for long periods at he start of the foreman fight.

Easier to take a powerful shot when you know it is coming, it is the shots you do not expect or see which will knock your ass down.

Did foreman telegraph his blows in the Ali fight, bc he was so pissed off at Ali.
Maybe slightly.

Physically there is nothing you can train for to take a beating, but if you have the frame of mind and are mentally strong you can achieve any thing.

Angelo Dundee wanted to throw in the towel for the Fraizer fight III.

Both times and I am sure many more ali fought with heart, and not many people can do that he gave 110% effort and that extra 10% can win these close fights.
