    Right. He only beat all the most notable names Ali beat without the losses to Frazier and Norton

      You must've never done a bit of research if you can't see all bums he's beat. Not a good boxing fan, are you?

      Norton, Cooney and Moorer all had glass chins. He didn't knock out, let alone fight, a lot of top opposition, so they're very limited.

      Frazier was 22 and the fight took place a year and a half before he won the title.
      If he was glass jawed then, why didn't he get knocked out by foreman, who is one of the hardest hitters of all time?

      I think It's better to say that he has a slightly below average chin, but not glass chin.

        Did you not see him dancing on shaky legs and walking backwards after getting knocked down six times before the fight was stopped? Even if it ends on a TKO, it's still a knockout.

        He got up from those knockdowns because he had a lot of heart. Heart doesn't equal chin, though.

        Had the fight been happened in this era, it would've probably been stopped in the first round.

          but how does this prove a glass chin? Why not a weak chin or an average chin?

            10 knockdowns in three fights, six of them in one = glass jaw.

              When did Foreman beat Liston, Patterson, Terrell, Quarry, Bonavena, Ellis, Foster and Shavers, to name a few?

              By the way, Ali and Foreman fought nothing alike. Frazier and Norton were just perfect style match-ups for Foreman.

                To name a few, you mean to name all. So you're saying Frazier and Norton weren't bums now? What about Lyle and all the others they both fought? Admit it, you discredited Ali by your worthless comment that all his opposition were bums.

                      Nope. To name a few.

                      When did I ever say Frazier, Norton and the other similar opponents Ali and Foreman fought were bums? Please direct me to that quote, as I would very much like to see it.

                      I said most of Foreman's record consists of bums, which is true. Care to prove me wrong?
