So they both got to the final, who would win if both in their prime.

This fight already happened. Only this time it would be the prime Ali, not the slower, heavier on from the 70s.

Ali would constantly beat him to the punch. It would resemble Clay-Liston I. Foreman may win maybe a round or two, but stamina comes into play, and Ali would stop him in about 8 rounds.

Prime Muhammad Ali TKO 8 George Foreman:fing02:

Well doesn't take a boxing guru to work this one out. Ali by either UD or late stoppage and wins the tournament as we all knew he would.

I also believe that Muhammad Ali would be victorious against George Foreman.

I have to point out though, that the younger and faster Ali would probably be more vulnerable to Foremans power, and thus the possibility of a sudden kayo would be greater than it was in 74. Also, Foreman would not be able to use Ali as a punchingbag in this one. Because of this, he would not punch himself out like he did when they fought in Africa. This means he would not fade as much as he did then.

Still, I see the very mobile Ali sticking and moving, constantly on the run, with Foreman throwing wild punches, missing most of them. Foreman would surely run out of steam before Ali, and I see Ali taking home a safe decision. He might even get a late stoppage.

Muhammad Ali by UD.

After drinking some disgusting water with his peeps, Foreman is told that it's just regular water like always, 20 times with some odd silent moments while his trainer keeps a nervous smile on his face. Nevertheless, the water came out again when Ali made Foreman see the stars with a 10 punch combination.:loser:
Just kidding. This fight would be similar to the actual fight they had, only Ali would fight himself out of Clinches, he would not use the rope a george, and fight him. He would be forced to fight him because Foreman had excellent ability to cut off the ring. I can see it now, Foreman gets him on a spot, he tries to set up, but Ali's slickness and movement would not let Foreman give him a pounding. You know, he gets him the first couple of shots, and then receives some very fast punches and then fails to complete his assault. This is how it would go the whole fight with Foreman having some good moments, and winning rounds with those moments.
But that's all i can give the man here. Moments. Ali Tko because of his ways of finishing strong in the last rounds, and Foreman's way of gassing out in the very late rounds.

mmm not soo much of a fantasy figth since it already happened...

george foreman knocks muhammad ali out in 4 rounds :boxing:

ali boom bay yah ! ali boom bay yah ! ali boom bay yah !ali boom bay yah ! ali boom bay yah ! ali boom bay yah !ali boom bay yah ! ali boom bay yah ! ali boom bay yah !ali boom bay yah ! ali boom bay yah ! ali boom bay yah !

A past it Ali already beat a prime Foreman, so a prime Ali would do the job even quicker. Ali by TKO round 4.

i dont think ali could take the punches tha he took in the foreman fight while in his prime.

i do think ali (clay) could dance around him all night and would win a UD, taking farm less damage than in the actual fight.

Why not? 1964-1967 Ali was barely hurt in his prime and fought punchers like Liston, Patterson, Williams, Chuvalo, Folley, and Cooper.:boxing:

With both boxers in their prime Ali takes less damage and wins the fight convincingly.

Strange how these came out in the final...

Obviously this would not have been my ideal final but you can't argue with votes and this is where we are at.:cool:

butterfly your first post was a good one...

but u'r sayin patterson was a puncher?

and he was barely hurt against cooper? :thinking:

Ali did say Coopers punch was the hardest one that put him down....That accounts for something! And yes Floyd was a devastating one punch puncher, just didn't exhibit it alot.

ali would win about round 6 he was a lot faster and lighter on his feet in younger days. he would have toyed with foreman,but if foreman connected with a couple of haymakers it could have been another ali vs cooper repeat

he was completly out on his feet after being hit by cooper, if angelo dundee hadn't founf the tear in his glove ;) he would have probably been knocked out!

Sure sure, but that's a green Ali goofing about against a dominated (though worthy) opponent. Hardly relevant as regards peak Ali v human wreaking machine George Foreman.

Ali KO 8.

we are only usig that to demonstrate that- in his early career- ali did not have the iron chin he seemed to later on.

I would just like to say this was a nicely ran tournament.

well done Boxclever.
