Its more the time line when Foreman fought Frazier who was 10/20 pounds overweight by the second fight at 224/225 pounds,not really a big surprise when you look back on the circumstances. Norton just fought the wrong game plan and forgot to try and out box instead of out punch Foreman.
Ali didn't outsmart Foreman really he had no choice but to stay on the ropes for 7 rounds due to the much stronger Foreman..., Foreman outsmarted himself,and punched like a big oaf barley landing many solid shots that actually connected to Alis head and didn't land any off the ropes, so he never truly hurt Ali but with body shots and a FEW head shots but mostly grazed ones or ones where Ali was using the ropes to bounce backwards off them to lighten the effects...he missed more than 20 in the first round and landed only around 4 in the first round...that's basically how that fight goes.
