George Foreman, the Man who made the man that is falsely proclaimed as the man in box

Sam Langford was in a dogfight, one of dozens he had against HOF fighters. Midrounds he steps back and marks an X with his foot and points to it. He then work's his man to the spot and knocks him dead cold on it.

Kid, boxing had a hundred years of amazing history before Ali ever came on the scene.

but none of that was as spectacular as what ali did.

George Foreman could of fought Ali again and he still would of lost. Georges Style caters to Ali's style. Ali is quick, resourceful and can absorb punishment. You watch that fight, Ali controlled that whole fight... coming off the ropes he'd land flurrys of punches, when he stayed off the ropes he would control the range and land flurrys on george. Ali is an adaptive fighter, and he could adapt to whatever little arsenal Foreman through at him. Ali had problems with good boxers and swarmers with fast hands... not crude sluggers. The only thing in foremans arsenal is big punches, of which Ali could defend against and counter punch against.

You can tell when a boxer throws a fight or not... Sonny liston was fighting as he always did in the first fight, and Alis superior skills allowed him to neutralise Sonny Liston... Sonny Liston was clearly fighting as best he could, and Ali destroyed him... simple as that... he threw the second fight. Its widely accepted that the first fight was genuine.

I dont know why you are trying to make a big deal out of the Lyle fight. Foreman was knocked down twice in the 4th but the point is he got up like a true champion and put Lyle on his ass and kept him there in the 5th like a true champion does. Knocked his ass his out cold.

Ali on other hand against Lyle was loosing every single round, then all ALi he did was flurry wildly once in the 8th round and the ref came in stopped the fight. One of the worst stoppages ever. Lyle was not hurt or anything, Ali was not even connecting with Lyle in most of that flurry. If the ref did not pull that bull**** stoppage Ali was doomed to lose a Wide UD.

lyle was never ahead on points in that fight. you know why? because lyle couldnt fight. he got his ass handed to him by two "true champions".

actually, i was scoring the fight and i had it for the first ten rounds 5-3-2 in lyle's favor. but if ali wanted to he could have won every round cause the only rounds lyle won, or that were draws were the rounds ali layed back on the ropes and let lyle hit him, the same as foreman, so ali was by far the superior boxer against lyle. and mckay said ali flurried once and lyle wasn't hurt, and ali wasn't connecting most of the time, but if you watch the eleventh round, lyle fell back on the ropes twice! and ali threw about 30 punches and missed like four times and they were all hard punches and the last punch connected rocked lyle head back and made him glassy eyed, so he was out on his feet, and it was a very appropriate stoppage.

Blockhead is a just name for you. Lyle was comfortably ahead on the cards and anyone knows this if they watched the fight.

Lyle was ahead, but if the ref didn't stop it then, he would of stopped in a few seconds anyway. You could see Lyle was damaged by those flurries, towards the latter rounds lyle was tiring and he was going to be dropped anyway.
