Ali wasn’t as smart as Foreman was stupid. Foreman has admitted as much.
Exactly. Had Foreman punched to the body in those exchanges or backed away instead of punching himself out the result would have been different. With his power and Ali just standing against the ropes He could have broken his ribs. I think Foreman won every round until the last one. Arrogant and foolish young man that day.
Well... I shoulda looked before I spouted off. Scorecards in rounds: Zach Clayton 4-2-1 Ali, Nourridine Adalla 3-0-4 Ali, and James Taylor 4-1-2 Ali. But I still think Foreman lost the fight more than Ali won it, by not punching to the body.
