Some might call me crazy but I saw some Foreman fights from the 70's and I have to say I dont think he was all that talented,he was just an animal. Most of the time he would stand there and just take wild swings. He hit so hard and was so strong that it was just too overwhelming for most. Ali was too talented not to mention had a of a hard chin.

Ali owns Foreman
Foreman lost because he faced the one man who was not intimidated by his power. Ali had already proved he could hold his own against the hard hitters when he knocked out Sonny Liston. Foreman's fighting style was tailor made for Ali - powerful, clumsy and without technique. Joe Frazier had given Ali problems because he had an iron jaw and determination. Foreman wanted the glory, but Ali wanted immortality. To put it simply, Ali wanted it more and ****** Ole George right in with the rope-a-dope.Comment

Ali certainly did duck Foreman in 1976 and 1977. A Foreman-Ali rematch would have been like the Louis-Schmeling rematch. If the ropes were tight, Ali would not be able to lean back and avoid Foreman's power. After 2 or 3 rounds Ali would be hurt and just covering up, leading to stoppage. Ali and his management knew this, and so never came close to giving George a rematch. Once Foreman figured out he would never get a rematch, he lost interest in boxing. This led to his sluggish performance against Jimmy Young in 1977.Comment
