You should watch both fights. Big George destroyed Smokin' Joe in '73 & '76.I was watching this boxing legends motivation video (great video btw) and was surprised at how EASILY Foreman manhandled Frazier who was champion at the time and had just handed Muhammad Ali his FIRST loss a couple of fights ago (2:20min).
I loosely knew the story but was still shocked at how Foreman dropped him at will and beat him all around the ring like he stole something.
Of course, Ali would then beat up Foreman and catch him with a perfectly timed straight right hand on the chin to knock him out.
It must've been a MAGICAL time and as the old saying goes 'styles make fights'.Comment

Foreman should have beaten Ali too but the mind games and crowd support for Ali did him in. Foreman was so traumatized by it that he didn't even want a rematch with Ali.Comment

- - The reason being Doc Ferdie to did the post fight medical checkup say Foreman ruined Ali insides, so he and Herbert won't let Ali fight Big George.
He and Cosell went to Foreman's 5 man exhibition where they make monkeys out themselves wif Ali screaming he ain't never getting the rematch.
Ali's next fight where he admits he turned down an Indonesian Oil Man's $10mil purse split for the rematch to have Chuckles Wepner to beat him up in Podunk, Ohio for peanuts
Was U screaming in U diapers then and still screaming about it nowComment
