    Comments Thread For: In the corner with Russ Anber: Why George Foreman ranks among the very best

    George Foreman had the power to knock out any heavyweight that ever lived and I?ve come to think of that as the best way to define his standing in the pantheon of heavyweight greats, writes Russ Anber

      Well, it's not unthinkable. Hold on....thinking it right now. It might have been unlikely to go 9 and 1 against Ali but not unthinkable. Foreman was a smart guy. He would have learned to counter the rope-a-dope.

        Cos Ali would have used the same strategy & tactics again & again & again & again, right?

          And because I know how sharp you are I'ma get there first & say I'm sure we can all agree that there is indeed more than one way to grill an Ali cat.​​

            Foreman was a great great fighter in his prime. When Ali beat him in 1974. It was no fluke. If they fought again, Ali would have taken him into deep rounds 14 or 15 and whipped him again. However, Ali would have needed to be in tip top shape otherwise Foreman would've beaten him. Boxers gave Foreman trouble. Holmes, Ali and other guys with stamina that moved, jabbed, parried punches have the wrong style for Foreman. Nevertheless, I am sad that Foreman passed away but glad of the recognition that he gets in society because he so richly deserves it.
