Ali vs. Foreman. 50 years ago

[QueensburyRules]

I enjoyed that one.

- - Last movie I saw was one of the Lords of the Ring back around 2001.

I stopped watching movies when the guys were just two bit punks and the gals were just foul mouthed wanna be he men, so it figures U two would rapsodize over two bit punks and gal he men wannabes that informs U lack of boxing acumen.

Okay queeny I am not going to get on a bad one and get into an arguement with you so I will try and offer an olive branch to you and say that you have an above average knowledge of boxing. There you go I am being fair. Okay it may be the case that I know so much more than you about the noble art but rather than gloat I will rise above it and compliment you. You have a slightly above average knowledge of boxing. keep reading my posts and bills and willies and willows and jabs and try and improve your boxing knowledge from the real masters and maybe in a few years we will start considering you a knowledgeable chap but work at it and read and learn all you can. good luck with it.

Yup... He is a superstar down at the Big Pharm labs... They even have a nickname for em: The human pin cushion! Fauci is rumored to have his number on speed dial.

Well to be fair... There was that "other reason" why Queenie stopped watching movies. hard to do so when your eyes are crossed from super strong gin made in the bathtub.

That sad soul has been drunk so long he probably forgot he watched them. Especially considering both of those movies came out LOOOONG before 2001. Poor little Frodo!!

- - The Fight itself was epic because of George persevering after not being able to spar because of a horrific cut suffered the first day he arrived. Then he was held hostage and forced to live in an abandoned military quarters while Ali was being feted by one of the most murderous Kleptocratic Rulers in African History.

Ali took such a horrific beating that Ferdie and Herbert refused to let him fight the $10Mil 50/50 split financed by a black Indonesian Oil tycoon in Indonesia.

I must say that was the most epic combinations to finish the fight that Ali pulled off, yet still the specter of George's drugging by Saddler in the dressing room before and the short count Clayton administered while George was rising is another level of contamination. And it ain't a stretch to say DKing who was part of the promotional team was also involved as his copious M/O has shown through history.

Foreman got his eye cut by an elbow from sparring partner Bill McMurray,it happened on the 17th of September 3 WEEKS after he had arrived in Zaire. The fight was postponed for six weeks.
Foreman 's first accommodation in Zaire was in an old Army base but he soon moved to a suite in the Intercontinental Hotel.Foreman hired the men who guarded him in the hotel suite.All this is in his autobiography.By George.
After his defeat Foreman blamed a drugged drink of water prior to he fight as being the cause of his loss,he later publicly admitted the only drug was Ali's right hand.
Foreman shot his wad trying to get Ali out of there instead of pacing himself in the humid conditions.No drugs just overconfidence,and bad strategy.

Pacheco had no say in who or when Ali fought.
After the the fight Foreman was in no mental state to fight anyone, and it would be 15 months before he ventured back in the ring against Lyle.
