    He was in shock and denial.He was depressed and in despair.He couldn't believe or accept that he not only got beat,but got KNOCKED OUT.That blew his mind.

    He was making every excuse known to man kind.The ropes were to loose.The heat got to him.He got a fast count.He was drugged etc. etc. He was in no shape to fight Ali mentally or physcially right after there 1st fight.

    Ali would have beaten George even worse if they would have fought right away after the 1st fight.George was fat and out of shape,and not training.But MENTALLY he was even worse.
    Read the above.I was 18 years old when they fought,and Foreman was a "head case" for a year following the fight.He was SHOCKED and in deep despair,and mentally unfit.Ali would have beaten him even worse if they would have fought again right away.

      I say Foreman. I'm sure he's not THAT dumb to walk into Ali's traps after it happened to him the first time. I just don't see it happening twice.

        The next fight Ali would have been dancing,and easily win a UD

        The 1st fight Ali could not dance because they were fighting in a 16 foot ring! The canvas was also padded with soft padding,not enabling Ali to dance like he wanted to.

        Most championship fights the ring is 20-24 feet,but they fought in a 16 foot ring and Ali could not dance.In a rematch as Ali is the champion I'm sure it would have been a 24 foot ring!! And Ali would have been able to dance and out box George from the center of the ring.

          Ali won almost every single round with ease and was clearly winning the fight. It was a boxing lesson.

          Ali was landing clear, hard shots and Foreman was barely connecting with anything.
          yes i have viewed the fight and i stand by my comment,foreman is far more the better all round boxer,foreman in my opinion probably the best heavyweight all time

            Did you just say Foreman was an all around better boxer than Muhammad Ali?

            Maybe you were being sarcastic...I hope.

              i kinda see foremans style almost like sonny listons...big, heavy hitter, really no style except to bash your head in as hard as they can.. and look what happen to liston...sure some may think the "phantom punch", liston threw the fight and couldve gotten back up..but the fact is he knew that if he got back up ali wouldve been all in his face dancing circles around him..and it wouldve just happened again with foreman....so Ali for the win..

                  Does Forman have better hand speed? Is Forman the smarter fighter? Does Forman have a better chin? Does Forman have better stamina? Does Forman have better reflexes? Does Forman have better foot speed?

                      You have just lost the "little" credibility that you had.

                      Please go play games some where else.
