hey i'm not saying Foreman would win i just think he would do better
but i have to say just cause ali was standing still doesn't give foreman an excuse to be so sloppy

i thought it was wierd he kept missing a stationary object

alright, so imagine a young ali fighting him the same way he fought liston. he would just dance away from those big bombs and hit him with rapid-fire combinations!

It took brains to beat Foremans brawn. A younger Ali could probrably beat Foreman by dancing and stinging, but if Foreman caught Ali with a big hit in the centre of the ring then I wouldn't like to say what would happen. The rope a dope worked brilliantly for Ali.

Butterfly, dont even mention the Ali-Liston fight coz liston was like 37yrs old and slow as hell at that time. they found out liston was 5yrs older then they thought b4. anywayz, foreman wudve ripped ali, and i dont think any1 shud take you srsly after u posted that Lee could beat Ali.

Well, in all fairness, Bruce Lee is in another class where weight separation doesn't matter.

On to the important subject.

Agreed, Sonny Liston was late 30's when he fought Clay, and definitely not faster than a 24-year old Foreman. So, Ali making Liston look ****** wasn't a remarkable feat compared to what he did to Foreman. It was the rope-a-dope that won that fight, however. In the 1960's, Ali was difficult to catch with a clean punch, but he was more vulnerable when cornered than he was in the 1970's. Most critics believe that Ali's prime was during one fight...The Rumble in the Jungle. I think that was his most impressive fight. He was cut, he was fast, and he had great strategy against a seemingly invincible opponent. Just because his footwork had slowed down doesn't mean that it wasn't his prime.

Also, just because butterfly says anything about Ali doesn't make it so. Although he does have his fair share of knowledge.

Anyway, Ali beats Foreman everytime from 1967-1974.

Sorry, but that is wrong.

That would've meant that according to you Liston was born sometime in the mid 1920's, yet according to the recently released 1930 census which was taken in the late months of that year, Charles L. Liston had not been born yet. And the census people certainly didn't miss out on the Liston household because his father (Tobin), mother (Helen), three sisters (Clytee, Annie & Alcora), and two brothers (J.T., Leo & Curtis) were all on there...

Sonny Liston was no older than 32 or 33 years old when Ali defeated him that night in Miami.

watch listons documentary, they say he was born in 1922-1923
