  • Losses of which fighters seem to be proud of...

    I always got the feeling George Foreman was actually proud of that fight with Ali even though he lost. He even seems to joke about the rope-a-dope! Mike Tyson once said that the Douglas fight was his favorite moment. Ray Mercer didn't seem all that upset after losing to Holyfield by a small margin.

    Before he reinvented himself, George was very bitter about the Ali fight. He came up with one excuse after another and hounded Ali for a rematch. The upset loss to Jimmy Young changed Foreman forever.

      Quite right about George. He offered every excuse for a while. Even in his biography he says that the water he was given before the Ali fight tasted of medicine.

        I mean George in recent years seems like he views the Ali fight as a gool ole memory. Isn't it ironic that he won back the title with the same trunks he had lost it with 20 years prior. That's truly amazing!
