Ouch Al - but somebody had to go there!


I think Ali wins a rematch on points. Foreman would have been more cautious second time round, but I don't think Ali gets too bold because he could have always walked into something, and it's those punches that do the damage. I think he'd be aware of that and dance his way to a comfortable decision.

Ali's defence was amazing in the Foreman fight - he took everything on the gloves or the elbows, Foreman landed very little flush.

So that's why I think Ali would be cautious - If Henry Cooper could mess him up with a single flush shot, what could Foreman do?

Foreman only really learned to box on his comeback when he brought in Archie Moore. Did you see some of the tricks he pulled? There was some old school shit in there.

The hand trap to lead uppercut and the shifting uppercut to overhand right that he hit Cooney with? That stuff was beautiful. If Foreman boxed with his noggin like that in his youth then I dont think Ali - at the age he was in the rumble - could have worn him out.
