Back on topic, the fight was one of the greatest displays of athleticism and toughness to ever grace sports, Amen.
ffight is frightening to me to this day. Ali is visibly terrified in the opening round---prolly half-expecting to get his skull bludgeoned in as Frazier and Norton had just experienced. GF is the most frightening fighter I ever saw.
Agreed if you watch the documentary showing Foreman working the heavybag it looks like it needed to be replaced after he hit it twice. I think he himself was in awe that Ali took so many of his punches. I've seen interviews with Foreman that he was afraid he was going to kill Ali after a few rounds.Frazier used to take credit for putting Ali in his terrible state but I truly believe it was Foreman he ruined him. Foreman is my favourite fighter, as a matter of a fact it was his comeback that made me a boxing fan. In my eyes he is one of the greatest fighters ever.
