    Nowhere in my post did I even mention Ali.My post was in response to your glorification of George Foreman.


    Foreman's record is padded full of unranked journeyman and the odd ranked fighter.


    You're quite obviously a newb.And there really is nothing worse than a newb who thinks/pretends to know more than what he actually does.



    Stick to the hip hop forums.

            He is indeed underrated.
            A loss to an All Time Great doesn't taint anybodies legacy.

            What about Ali's wins over Liston, Patterson and Williams.
            The Fact that Foreman Ko'd opponents that ALi didn;t doesn't come as a suprise since Foreman had better power.
            Ali lost to Frazier and Norton (both styles made to beat him) whilst he was on the decline, he managed to beat them and beat Foreman.
            Ali is not ******, you think he would use the rope a dope on Foreman again if it wasn't working, he was an adaptive fighter.

                He's a hell of alot more greater than foreman is,that's for sure.


                Not that that's some great accomplishment.I can name several heavyweights who rate higher than ole 'padman' foreman.

                  Arguably Ali lost all 3 times (i think he did) to Norton, he lost to Frazier in fight one, i also though he lost to Jimmy Young (who also beat George). George crushed Frazier and Norton, and became a HW champ at age 45. So i think the loss to Ali hurts his legacy, but i think as a whole he may be underrated by many. Ali prob get's the edge because he beat Liston and does have some other names that seperate him from Foreman...but i think Foreman is underrated.

                      Yeah, don't forget the fact that Mike Tyson ducked a 42 year old Foreman or however old his old ass was.

                      Don't believe me, read SI 91 November
