He had the same invincible aura that Tyson had, maybe even more until it all unraveled in "The Rumble in the Jungle". What a mistake that was for him to fight down there, Ali laid the greatest trap of all time. Of course, he was the only one that could have pulled off something that audacious, the pounding he withstood from Foreman that night I believe literally took years from his life. Without a doubt the most courageous performance in boxing history.

Of course, I don't think there was anybody else on the planet who could have taken that pounding for 8 rounds, Ali was absorbing everything Foreman had, most mortals couldn't last more than three rounds with that monster.

I was born in 80, my pops took me and my pal to a fight when we were around 8 years old. We watched some guy named Lindell Holmes at The Palace. Next five years was consuming all of the old school fights we could. It was harder back then, we had to get them on VHS or wait for a rerun on TV. Hagler was my fave (RIP), Sugar Ray Leonard my pal's. When Foreman came back in the 90s, it was crazy. What a time to be alive.

For those who still attack Howard Cosell. It was him, and only him among sports casters who never abandoned Muhammad Ali. When they did the last tribute to Ali Cosell was close to dying and couldn’t personally attend, but gave a tribute via satellite. Ali cried and a few weeks later Cosell died. It’s true he could be irritating, and annoying, but he was a better man than many sports figures much more popular than himself. Ali never forgot Cosell helping him during his layoff for not joining the military. It’s why Cosell had almost exclusive access to Ali when he wouldn’t talk to many. They were friends till the end and if you watch the 60 minutes interview with Ali’s wife after he died she stated that the most devastated she ever saw Ali was Cosell’s death. So fire away at him he can’t hear you now, but give me a choice between knowledge of sport, or a man who never abandons a friend and I’ll take the latter every time. R.I.P Howard.

In my opinion made him a hell of a lot better man that many of more knowledgeable peers. It wasn’t popular to support Ali in those days when parents were literally watching their sons die on national television. Of course that was when real journalism existed. I remember a reporter and camera guy who stayed with us when we got into a bloody firefight. I don’t mean to change the subject but Cosell openly defended Ali when everyone else hid their head in the sand. For that he had and always will have my utmost respect.

Staying in shape fighting all those years, he probably would have beaten Holyfield and Morrison too. Lennox in the late 90’s would have gotten him because age and Lewis started to fight too much like Ali 😂 but in the early 90’s Big George woulda knocked him out easier than those two weak dudes McCall and hassium did 😂😂😂
