It isn't just about being on your feet by the ten count, you have to show that you're able to put your hands up and display a degree of awareness, Foreman did not meet these requirements, clearly.
@dukoduli shut up, no one cares, no one likes you.. your not impressing anyone... I won't be responding to you , and when I get a message in my mail notifying me that you responded.. I am just going to delete it and never look... that is how much I don't care about you, and that is why I got the last word here, and how I just beat you. Your retarded, get lost fag boy. OWNED -- LAST WORD, BOOHOO, GO FUCKING CRY, LOL
you stupid asses, you do something for 1.5 hours in the Hot humid temp of Africa and see if you can throw punches in a ring w/temps above 100 degrees. "took a dive" you obviously have never done any full contact sports.
@TheRight2BeWrong1 shut the fuck up if you thought 8 rounds with muhammad ali and you were tired and you had lots of fast punches coming at you at one time i think youd go down!!!
I know that's the were american commentators voice but do not go off that count go off the refs hand gestures although the camera comes off of him you can count with him that he got to 9 if 9 but to say 10 u are clearly in denial and I feel bad for foreman suffering your first loss in such a mentally bad loss I seen a documentary of him where he says this shit put him in a depression and made him retire shortly and gain mad weight
Not saying this to takes this w away from ali but that was not a 10 count and although I like ali I'm not a bias fan that shit was not a real 10 and if you wanna get technical foreman feet we're both planted and just a but slumped as the ref called it at a fast count to"9"
I've never boxed, been in a few street fights but nothing like this of coarse. Anyways you would think just blocking those punches and defending against them would have wore Ali out almost as bad as Foreman. Isn't that the case?
@ThePuzzler81 getting punched in the arms with gloves is not the same as getting punched with the bare hand, I've fought in both boxing and street fights and remember these guys train(at least the should) to last at least 12-15 rounds
@punktheman Getting punched in the face with a boxing glove produced more force and creates more damage than a bare knuckle dear boy. Gloves are more concussive and hit with much much more force
@mrbrewhaha The counting that you hear is the commentator, not the referee. It actually was exactly 10 seconds. The reason the commentator only got to 8 is because he said something in the middle of the counting. Just watch the clock and add to the count when the commentator starts rambling. I would have probably given George the benefit of the doubt since he was standing at 10. I would have done a glove check and let him keep going, but it definitely was not 8.
the greatest..the heavyweight division now is an absolute joke compared to when the likes of frazier,foreman,ali and even when tyson and holyfield were fighting..david haye wouldnt last 2 rounds with frazier or foreman..we wont ever see this calibre of fighter again..true greats..ali..legend
Ali's power is underrated...some people think he was just incredibly fast but his power was in fact formidable...his power was not in par with say a Liston, Foreman, Tyson and such but the power was there nonetheless, whenever he hit Foreman with a solid 1-2 he would get shaken up...you have to give credit to Foreman for taking all those punches to the face and last up until the 8th.
@POTATER1228 I see your point and I agree, but just watch closely and I think the ref was just a little too eager to count him out, don't get me wrong I was delighted Ali won.
@teebee1984 Well the people of Zaire did HEAVILY favor Ali over Foreman, and the ref was from Zaire. But Really, If foreman wasnt counted out right there? Do you think he'd survive another assault Ali would land on him when he came up. Also Ali was actually on a score card
@teebee1984 Oops my mistake, you're probably right about the ref. anyways Foreman was completely out of it, and sending him out for more would be dangerous to his health, and he had little chance to make a comeback after that daze
@hywelmurray throw the fight...throw the fight..?..no..no..no. he just walked in to a legend. who had the belief that this sucker was going down.today george forman is a changed man.well respected.and who does he have to thank. for me ali was the greatest fighter the world has ever seen.he had to fight the guy in front of him.the nation of islam. white 1960s america. and even with his self at times.throw the fight .......lmao.
a lot of people who dont know much about boxing history think that Ali was the favourite here but actually he was the underdog and not expected to win. He was 8 years older than Foreman and Foreman was the champion and in his prime. But that Ali knocked him out is part of the reason why Ali is regarded so highly in boxing history. He didn't just win as favourite but he won as an underdog here. That's what makes the name Muhammad Ali stand out above Foreman, Frazier, Liston.
a true legend, if you watched any of his interviews before this you would never have thought of him coming up with such a simple and cunning plan. Kudos ali!
@zorbatheok saying this was a fix is an insult to george foreman. he would never do something like that, and neither would ali. just a good strategy by ali and bad conditions for foreman.
I get tears in my eyes everytime I see the aesthetics of Muhammad Ali sudden attack on George Foreman, who basically knocked himself out. Muhhamad Ali, great strategy!
watch the clock the moment foreman hits the ground it was 10 seconds before foreman was fully up on his feet. dont listen to the reporter he's off his count
so if ali and sugar ray fought it out in the ring who would win ? ali of course. Therefore he was the greatest. i dont care about the weight division difference
Sugar ray robinson is ranked #1 boxer of all time Ali #2 so criticizing BOxing Analysts. ur an idiot. u probably never ever saw Robinson fight. Ali said he idolized robinson and imitated his moves. What do u have to say about that? And RObinson faught around 180 fights
he wasn't letting him think he had a chance. Ali probably wouldn't have won going toe to toe with foreman all 8 rounds instead he wore him out and ended it when foreman had nothing left in him
yeah, i think the rule is you have to be up and ready to go at 10, which means you have to be up by 8. At 8 he was still down and just jumped up suddenly. Plus Foreman was punching like a big baby. In the 90 degree African heat he had lost it. Ali was in total control and the ref saw that.
ricky hatton is a bum the 60's and 70's ali is the greatest then other great fighters are foreman frazier 80's pernell whitaker awsome defence 90's jones jr hopkins hatton is a bum also joe louis and ray robinson ray leonard so many
you obviously dont know a lot about boxing if you have not heard of an eight count. lol you only even need to look on google but all you probably get is about standing eight counts.
why did ali piss about till the last 20 seconds any way foreman got up on about 8 , got to admit though ali best boxer of all time next is ricky hatton
next ricky hatton!!!! r u nuts!!! first of all ali aint the best of all time... sugar ray robinson is.... second of all what about leonard, hearns, chavez, trinidad, de la hoya, mosley, jones jr, heck even mayweather, hatton is good but he has nothing on all this fighters
Sugar Ray's record speaks for itself. The reason everyone says Ali's the greatest is for what he did out the ring, he was great in the ring but not the greatest, the greatest was Sugar Ray Robinson
Uhh congratulations, your the first person to ever utter that sentence in history, and the last one too unless you repeat it. Do you even know who Sugar Ray Robinson is?
Sugar Ray Robinson was Ali's influence and Ali said it all the time.
At one point in Ray's career he was 128 -1 He was probably the only fighter ever to have every Boxing attribute. Speed and the ability to Box skillfully, power and the ability to brawl, a massive heart and a good chin.
he was beat man.... do you know how i know this, he didnt complain!! if he would have then i get your point but he had no problem with the ref !!! maybe he got up before 10, but still he didnt wanna fight anymore, his reaction said it all....
