This is one of the best and most complete interviews I've ever seen with Foster that I saved from a few years ago. He never mentioned anything about that so I have my doubts.

I also have never heard of this. I think Foster exaggerates a little. In the Ali Life and Times book by Hauser, he says he "busted Ali up" on their fight, though he was dropped 7 times and Ali toyed with him throughout.

Ali was well known for taking punishment from sparring partners.. I think it was his way of storing up the aggression for when it mattered and it wouldn't suprise me in the least if he allowed Foster to tee off on him.. But as for KOing him, i think that just maybe, the same kind of story from a very 'tall' fighter..

load of rubbish... Ali only had to clip Foster around the ear for Foster to hit the deck when they fought... Foster lost everytime he ever fought a Heavyweight
