Was Muhammad Ali's "rope-a-dope' strategy the only dope involved in the "Rumble in the Jungle?"

George Foreman isn't so sure.

In his recently published memoirs, "God in My Corner," Foreman says he was drugged just before the Oct. 30, 1974 title fight in what is now the ********ic Republic of the Congo -- then known as Zaire.

Foreman, then the world heavyweight champion, was a heavy favorite to beat Ali, the former champion. But Ali deflected or absorbed Foreman's punches as he leaned against the ropes, allowing Foreman to tire himself out in the tropical heat. He knocked Foreman out in the eighth round for the title.

But Foreman, now 58, says something else tired him. In his memoirs he says before the fight, his trainer gave him something to drink that tasted like medicine.

"I almost spit it out ... [I told my trainer] 'Man, I know this water has medicine in it,'" Foreman wrote. "I climbed into the ring with that medicinal taste still lingering in my mouth."

"After the third round, I was as tired as if I had fought 15 rounds. What's going on here? Did someone slip a drug in my water?" he wrote.

more trolling..

George Foreman conducted an interview with ESPN's Brian Kenny this evening, and although he didn't back down from his claims that he was drugged in his loss to Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle, he also said the sabotage is not the reason Ali beat him.

When Kenny told Foreman that Foreman's claims of his water bottle being ****ed were tantamount to saying one of the greatest sporting events in history was fixed, Foreman replied, "No, it wasn't fixed. I got beat fair and square."

Foreman's claims are completely nonsensical. At one point in the interview with Kenny he said, "It was years before I got my health back together after that fight." So how did he win all four of his fights over the next two years?

Foreman also of the water he was given just before the fight, "Maybe it's just a phantom drink of water, maybe it didn't happen at all, but I tasted medicine."

Maybe it didn't happen at all? Yeah, I think that's the most likely explanation.

Don't you love the hypocrisy of these clowns? Slam one fighter for doing the same exact thing as your hero. Yeah, that makes sense. At least George never lost to a Purrity, Sanders or Brewster in his career.

[Bacatit]

George is good for excuses and is not credible at all in things pertaining to boxing.......even his own career. He's just a boxer.

I believe him !

In a crazy way I think while he was su****ious he probably thought whatever it was would help him being that his trainer gave it to him.

To imply he is saying this to make himself look better is less logical to me, at this point it is to late to make himself look better based off his Ali performance, and I think he knows that.

I'm sick of you sheep who think anybody with some inside dirt is lying or boosting there ego's. The world is ****ed up and you all act like people don't try all types of unthinkable ****.

Where did I mention the Klitschkos here? What is the connection you are making?

You mean Foreman might not always tell the truth?

okay you didn't mention the klitschkos but what's than the point of making this thread? foreman - ali is about 37 years ago, the autobiography of george foreman was published about 13 years ago (correct me if i am wrong). this thread is either many years too late or you simply feel offended that not everyone is in love with the klitschkos. Or what exactly is your intention?
