....I'm sorry 'The Rumble in The Jungle' was boooooooring


Ali on the ropes for 7 1/2 rounds

Your quite right the fight itself was not all that exciting...If it were any two other heavyweights then those two the fight would be al but forgotten...It was the aura around the fight that made it great

In all honesty this hunk o crud just added to the aura of those fights
In one round they landed more and threw more then this entire fight

He had it planned in advance,he knew Foreman would punch himself out.
Go back and watch the first round of it
He's trying to decide if he can end it quick,and if he can take what George is bringing
He decides he cant take the big boy out in a hurry,but he can take his punches
So he goes with plan B
His corner was spazzing,but he kept telling them,"I know what Im doing"

maybe mate but before hand Gearge didn't show any stamina issues so for me and i'm a massive ali fan i think it was abit of luck involved also... hence no rematch

No George until his comeback allways on tape looked beatable that way
Its just could you take the punishment
The old George was actually alot smarter,"Here's the center of the ring,Ill be waiting for you"
If you could put the two versions together
Oh sweet Jesus
Thats murder in trunks

Agreed...That was the only way Ali or anyone else at the time was beating George, To move around and risk getting caught with your hands down against him would be suicide...Foreman hit that hard....

Wlad had a bad night, happens to everyone

I noticed in his last few fight he stopped using the right hand , just hiding behind a jab , this is a bad habit he wants to break, once he is in tough he will feel like fish out of water. The right hand won’t feel natural to throw when forced into battle and thus his timing will be off from this
.
The opportunities to toss the right hand were there all night long. he could have and should have closed the show impressive, with his obvious assets and talent.

Gun shyness is a sure way to kissing the canvas. good thing for Wlad this Sultan fellow stayed in Wlad's range by design.. that still baffles me??

typical mayweather strategy and mentality . Funny everyone thinks they can be Floyd Mayweather. the thing is, it takes tremendous natural talent, to take a shit boring style and make it work like Floyd can .. Fact is most can't .. this is an example of that. YUCK ,,

All he had to do was step to the right,and drop it.
And he just wouldnt do it for whatever reason
I kept trying to convince myself that he was trying to wear Ibragimov down,but the 12th only looked like a slower version of the first

[El Kabong]

Well by the 12th there was no reason to try for the KO....too much risk and Wlad was already going to win the fight handily.

It was a shame the 11th didn't last a minute longer those right hooks Wlad landed hurt Sultan and had he been able to follow up that would have been all she wrote

I feel what your saying. ICB At 135 Mayweather mixed it up a bit , he had his moments of excitement .. However in recent years .. Well they been boring mate. A great talent Mayweather make no mistake. But to classify him as a thrilling style.. Well ?? No. the opponent might make it a thrilling go , but its usually not Mayweathers gear that’s set for forward. He has the skill set needed to be thrilling could have easily made the fight vs. Baldimer and some others .
Choosing safety first is not a bad strategy or watch in and of itself, but when an opportunity arise to give the fans the money worth, that opportunity should always be seized. that’s what sets say Pete Whitaker and Sugar Ray Leonard apart from Floyd.. They would try and seize every opportunity available.
Please don’t take offense to my thoughts. Just my personal opinion.

a marvel of talent Floyd Mayweather no mistake.

Good on you Nebraska


as for 'The Rumble in the Jungle'.....Foreman landed on Ali's arms, Ali laid on the ropes played to the crowd, and then countered with straight punches.



Also Foreman and Ali are both right handed fighters


Sultan Ibragimov was a cross between Chris Byrd and Corrie Sanders and so you can realize why Wlad was a little too cautious. Wladimir SHOULD have KO'd him but after a while it wasn't a risk worth taking, like LENNOX LEWIS SAID
