    There were plenty of rumours of a rematch and I believe it was scheduled or planned around '76 or '75.

    Ali was there for his 5 fights in one night debacle,and foreman looked absolutely horrendous. It was a freakshow.

    Some rumours say Ali demanded Dick Saddler would be in Foreman's corner etc.

During that time the talk of a rematch would've been wonderful and made perfectly sense and definitely not a pointless fight.
      Lmao so that 6 month period is all Foreman had to take Ali fight? I dont think you know what you are talking about and just saying rnadom thoughts with no basis. When Foreman beat Frazier second time, Ali was training for the Norton fight. After Ali-Norton 3, Foreman retired 4 months after when he lost to Young. No it wouldnt of made sense, just stop with your trolling.

        Foreman took a piece of Ali. In a rematch he would be uniquely motivated to avenge his first loss. George would have a special motivation against Ali, he wouldn't fight like how he did against Ron Lyle or Jimmy Young. He would hone his brutal offence and punish Ali until he KO's him late.
        Foreman didnt have the stamina to KO anyone late

          Norton fight maybe, but Ali beat Young convincingly

              He knocked Foreman out and probably pissed blood for days to get that result.

              Can you blame him?

              Who else knocked Foreman out? Nobody, that's who.

                He was not capable of it in his absolute prime. End of story.

                      The guy who was due a rematch was Jimmy Young. I got Jimmy beating Ali, Foreman, Norton and Shavers.
