If he was on Speed he more than likely would have won.
Foreman drugged before Ali fight.

There are countless Foreman interviews and documentaries of this fight. No where Foreman says that he was drugged. If anything he said that he hit Ali as hard as he could and Ali told him "is that all you got?" He got demoralized after that and admits the Ali rope a dope and that he was the dope.Comment

I think he’s talking about boxing IQ
some fighters are not exactly intelligent out of the ring but have a high ring IQ and vice versa
Foreman then knew nothing more than plough forward and try to land big shots
If he was a smarter fighter, he might have realised Ali was using the ropes as a tactic and stopped just following him to the ropes like a zombie.
When I first saw the fight on Espn early heydays where they had George as a guest commentator, my first reaction as someone with medical training knowing George style was that he was drugged. I found out later George Plimpton who was sitting with Norm Mailer ringside screamed out about the same moment reality of the fight hit that the fight was fixed.
He said he was drugged by Sadler with foul tasting water he gave him during his normal dehydration phase Sadler always put him on before fights, completely against common sense for the average man much less a fighter in a championship bout.
He never seems to have talked to Sadler again, but Archie as part of that team eventually smoothed things over between the two such that Arch was in his corner when he KOed Moorer.
