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. One of the most dramatic moments in sports history when Foreman started spinning around like a top then dropped to the canvas.

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.

This was the only era in heavyweight history where the division was stacked with a plethora of world class fighters and the fact that Fraizer and Ali dominated much of this era and a little later, foreman shows just how good they really were, there are only a few other heavyweights that could come close to them and I don't include Tyson who dominated a poor era where the only competition he could of had messed themselves up with drugs, by that I mean witherspoon who should of dominated that time.

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.

@@nyobunknown6983 I won’t argue that. Yeah he use to annoy the hell out of me on Monday night football, but as far as integrity and devotion to people he called friends even in the face of ridicule. 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 😂😂😂

If Norton is Hercules what does that make Foreman?

Keep reading comments that Norton had a weak chin. I don't know...he was knocked out by Foreman, Shavers and Cooney...three of the hardest punchers in heavyweight boxing history.

Not gonna lie foreman would’ve become the best hwy boxer of all time if he would’ve not fought for 10 years but at the same time he also probably would’ve been much worse off physically

Ali used his brains, Foreman used his physical strength and punched himself weak. If he had better advice from his corner, l believe he would have possibly knocked Ali out.

I doubt it. Ali improvised based on what Foreman presented him with. If Foreman approached the fight differently, so would have Ali. Ali used the rope a dope because he knew Foreman was all about overwhelming his opponents with his power that he felt no one could handle. If Foreman hadn't used that, Ali might have danced more, stayed away from him and jab away.

You just don't realize how big Foreman's arms & hands are. He basically has legs coming out of his shoulders.

Sonny Liston was even bigger. His fist was the size of Foreman's bicep.

Ali was losing to Henry Cooper but illegal smelling salts and his glove being cut open saved him. Ali won two fixed fights against Liston. Ali had a points win in his third fight with Norton, a fight which Norton clearly won . Ali ducked a rematch against Foreman.

😊 George would throw a quick, little punch that looked like it missed. The next moment, his opponent was unconscious. Super power puncher. Before Iron Mike, there was George.

Absolutely. You see those old films of George chopping down trees with an axe - he's purely training to punch, not to lift or pull.

Foreman punched way harder than Tyson. Tyson's punches were fast and accurate, so the opponent didn't see them coming. The punch you don't see is the one that knocks you out.

It is astonishing that the narrator mispronounced the name of the most famous athlete on Earth by referring to Ali (Ah-Lee) as “Alley”. Inexcusable.

Norton had no chance because he carried his left hand too low, leaving himself open to the very hard jabs of Foreman. Another problem was that Norton didn't have a strong chin.

I can’t remember the boxer’s name that George hit with a thudding kidney shot but the highlight I saw had the crowd noise and you could hear the contact over the crowd. Scariest thing I ever seen……I wanted to hit the floor and roll around for the guy! 😉 BIG GEORGE 👍

Lost to Ali but treated two guys who beat Ali like they were children (Frazier and Norton). A rematch with Ali might have gone differently.

Foreman was power. But lacked stamina like Ali. Foreman cant maintain stamina beyond 6 rounds. After that he was ordinary.. Ali studied him well. Thats why Ali defeated him.
