Like I said,the hacks over at the Post took a snippet of this quote,and pieced it together with an old quote from right after the fight to make it more than it is.Pretty typical of them actually,"Rupert Murdoch,my newspapers print something that resmbles the truth,if you squint real hard"
Ive watched that fight dozens of times,I have it on tape.The facts are,3 days before the fight,George got a vicious case of Montezuma's Revenge,but didnt want to pull out,because of the fight allready being postponed once
The ring was well over a 100 degrees
Ali could do what noone else could do,block and take Georges punches
Not to mention the adrenalin rush of having an entire stadium chanting what Im sure George knew translated to "Ali kill the man"
