Clinching, rope-a-doping and waiting (= the poison had time to set in) was the only thing Ali could do.

um..no..he basically beat foremans ass throught the entire fight..hell the fight wasnt even close

As far as I know, today, if the ropes keep you from going down, it's called a knockdown.

no holding behind the head is not allowed.
he prob should have got some points deducted for it but the win came by KO
so it wouldn't have mattered.

this has to be the dumbest **** ever written

Ali's biggest wins (200+ lbs opponents): a 45year-old welterweight(Archie Moore), a half-blind(Frazier), a probably drugged(Foreman), a 10-year-older bumbeater(Liston), some sub-cruisers(Patterson, Foster, Mildenberger), some 6'0'' or smaller guys(Shavers UD15, Chuvalo UD15), a gun-shot(Cleveland Williams, lost 10feet of intestines before bout)
Median KO win:198lb. Tallest notable KO:6'3.5''(drugged Foreman)
His last 15 wins have a median record of 36-12
THAT was the GOLDEN age of heavyweight
