    Foreman drugged before Ali fight.

    So I was watching some of Ali's old fights like im sure a lot of his fans have been this week and as I was watching the Foreman fight I kept thinking Foreman looks like hes on some kind of drug or speed. I mean he really did looked drugged. This is nothing new but I came across this article where he says his trainer gave him something that tasted like medicine right before the fight and he thinks its what got him tired. The thing is though I think it did the opposite I think it was some kind of speed. Just watch him before the fight as they are doing anthems and everything guy looks drugged out of his mind. I think Ali beat a George Foreman that was on performance enhancing drugs I dont think it was something that made George a worse fighter.

    Just curious if any of you guys ever noticed that in the Ali Foreman fight how much Foreman looked like he was on some kind of speed. heres the article

      I don't know about drugged but he was hugged at least 10+ times a round.

        He looked drugged in the way he fought. I have never seen a boxer fight in such a weird way during a title fight.

            Ali being allowed to hold and the loose ropes allowing Ali to be out of range even when pinned on the ropes put big George in a position where he couldn't win.

              the loose ropes is also on that book.

              They also poisoned Foreman's german shepherd and did many strange things.

                ya i did hear some weird things happening to both fighters over there. foreman is saying his own trainer gave him something tho not ali which would mean it was to help his performance not hurt hm

                  Just watched Ali v Foreman again. While on the seat at the beginning of the 4th, Foremans cornerman slipped something into Foremans mouth just before his mouth guard. Saw him do it again in another round. Formen was aware as he chewed whatever was put in his mouth.

                  Salt tablets? Gummy bears? Vitamin tablets? Pharmaceutical Amphetamines?

                  Watch at 32.42 Forman opens his mouth for the trainer to insert mouthguard. Trainer stops and remembers he forgot something. He turns and searches for something, then puts something in Foremans mouth that George chews. The trainer then inserts the mouthpiece.. (video should begin at 32.40)

                    What go all out to try and bludgeon a guy that was mocking in him, Ive seen plenty of them, Foreman thought he was king kong and was just going pound Ali into the ground, Ali was one of toughest fighters to ever lace them up he took massive shots during his career and did a Fury stand up every time.
