Arreola vs Prime Foreman

[KostyaTszyu44]

Foreman had an idiotic game-plan in the first fight, he basically lost that fight on his own. Idiot tired himself out, more then he was ko'd. Kind of what david haye did in the carl thompson fight, burned out his own stamina

yeah he did but even so if ali wasnt the fighter he was georgie would have won even with his admittedly ridiculous gameplan, it still took some balls, ring smarts, toughness and patience for ali to win that fight

[TheGreatA]

I know he landed the cleaner shots hands down, but he wasn't even coming close to making the fight. The sheer disparity of punches thrown should have won Foreman rounds, it's not as if he was dancing around and making Foreman miss, he was laying on the ropes getting pounded lol

I agree with this as well. As to the ridiculousness of George's gameplan, it had been working very well up to that point. It might have been equally ridiculous for Foreman to make some finesse sort of scheme to beat Ali. He had already crushed the guy whom had given Ali his first "L". If the scores had Ali up, I guess it doesn't surprise me. I often don't see the same things as the judges. And they're judges and I'm just some schlub on the internet so... Still, it seems plausible to me the possibility that Ali might think twice before granting a rematch. One thing I don't know and maybe one of you guys do is this: did Foreman ask for a rematch?

Any fighter in the history of boxing who comes straight at Foreman is finished. An infighter's nightmare and the ultimate HW brawler.

[Silencers]

Chris Arreola would be having nightmares courtesy of George Foreman.

hmm he was good but nah not the best ever, a past prime ali still outfoxed and ko'd a prime george

Foreman gassed against Ali because of the intense heat and humidity in Zaire. If the fight had been in the US, Foreman would have won by KO.

Foreman absolutely destroyed Norton and Frazier, Ali lost to both.

Norton and Frazier as come forward pressure fighters were favourable match-ups for Big George.

Lets use our "Best American Heavyweight" as a measuring stick of how unbelievably terrible the state of the heavyweight division truly is...

I can't stand this damn ******.

Then those judges were really on Ali's nuts lol
He barely even made a fight of it until the last couple of rounds.
Even he said he was afraid of George actually making it to the end of the fight.
That says volumes about how he thought the fight was going.

I agree, George should have been ahead on the cards. Ali wasn't doing much.

Judges seemed exceptionally kind to Ali in other fights too - he had a couple of gift decisions go his way. I think all the hype about this loud-mouthed media favorite affected the boxing judges.

get over it
