Foreman Drugged Before Muhammad Ali Bout?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former heavyweight champion George Foreman, 58, is claiming in his recently published memoirs called "God in My Corner," that he was drugged just before his "Rumble in The Jungle" bout with Muhammad Ali, which took place on Oct. 30, 1974 and saw Ali knock Foreman out in eight rounds for the title.

Concerning the Nation of Islam and their unsavory practices I highly agree it could have happened.

My dad claims to this day that the fight was fixed.


Im not sure if I am going to open up this can with him.

I talked to a sixty plus year old Texas man who had met Foreman and was convinced he was drugged. Ali blashemy is punishable by death though.

It was in Zaire that Don King laid the groundwork of the plan he would perfect only in Brewster-Klitschko I.

I don't doubt that this could have happened. Remember, as a youth Don King killed two people, so he is certainly not above having a boxer drugged. It wouldn't be too difficult to drug someone before a fight.

drugged or not, he hit Ali with some bombs.

same idea here, he looked great and was a punching machine in the fight... he lost because he was tired... what a dumb accusation now from foreman after some 30 years after the fight... LOL.
