Have I mentioned Ali took the bomb left hook from Joe Frazier?

God I love Foreman. What a frickin fighter. According to him. He didn't take Ali seriously. Ali had lost previous fights going into the v Foreman. He's just one of those guys I never get tired of watching replays. That Ali fight ruined him mentally for a while. Damon he is beautiful to watch.
Just a dude in blue.

His comeback is more and more understated in an age where guys collect trinkets like random door prizes. Funny, lark and at time a rehearsed punch line but the at the end of the day he learned and earned it all back. Foreman was adapting and refining his approach when Hopkins was still fighting with his face. Man, young, old or even older and being robbed vs Briggs...I miss some Foreman!

I remember an article in The Ring a few years ago about his comeback.
It went something like this: "He was big and slow like a glacier , but still retained much of the punching power that terrorized the heavyweights of the 70's and as many of his opponents found out, a glacier could be hard to fight."

Foreman handpicked his opponents and he was scared of getting battered by Lennox Lewis.
Foreman may have been robbed by Briggs, I thought it was close but he certainly robbed Axel Schultz.
