Foremans Distruction of a prime Frazier is probably one of the gruesome distructions in heavweight championship history!
Frazier was practically decapitated that night

As far as upsets go, Ali's win over Foreman has to be the greatest. Ali exploited every aspect of that fight and the importance of it, leading up to it and during it.

Ali really did beat Foreman with his mind that fight. Brilliant.

(Still think Foreman would of crushed him in a rematch though :P )
it is one of the great unanswered questions. what would of happened in ali v foreman II. ive a feeling you could be right. foreman i think would of learned from what happened in the first bout and very possibly could of stopped ali in a rematch. only though if he didnt waste his bombs
How could Foreman have ever possibly beaten Ali? He hit him with everything he had and it did absolutely nothing. His showing in Zaire was as good as he could have done. Any rematch he would have been beaten more decisively, probably not by KO, but his only other alternative would be to not fight Ali off the ropes, and fighting him in the center of the ring would get him schooled.
