Ali v duane Bobbick. Should've happened. Duane never got his shot because Ali was too scared of him to fight him.

Wonder why George Foreman never got another shot?

Ali made a career out of fighting guys that never lasted more than about five rounds with Foreman.

Bobick got knocked the frick out by Ken Norton. That's why he never got a shot at Ali

Whatever happened to him?

Was he Ali's age? Did he fight Holmes? Or Spinks?

I never heard of him? I was only 5-10 years old at these times but I was paying as much attention as a kid could.

Foreman was defeated psychologically after that fight. His aura of invincibility was gone as well as evident in his subsequent fights the few years afterwards. George eventually lost another fight at the hands of Jimmy Young.

I agree with this... He didn't fight for about 14 months after the Ali fight.

I don't agree with this... He went on a 5 fight win streak with 5 consecutive KO's (including a fight with Frazier) never getting past the 5th round before he lost that epic fight to Jimmy Young.

After the Jimmy Young loss he didn't fight again for about 10 years because of his "near death experience" from having heat stress and dehydration from the Jimmy Young fight in Puerto Rico. That's when he got the HOLY SPIRIT!!

Ali fought more than enough fights. He fought to the point of brain damage, so, I'd say that's enough.

The people that call him GOAT, how old were you when his last fight took place?
