I am amazed that nobody has said any of the ALI/Frazier Fights. They are on a different level than any other fights imo.

I don't enjoy watching the third one. Makes me cringe
Damn near a fight to the death. One of the greatist fights of all-time imo. I sure wanted Joe to get that one.

Ali didn't knock him out. Foreman was just knocked off balance and stood up quickly after that. I don't know why they stopped the fight... seems like another rigged Ali fight to me.

The Ward Gatti trilogy.

He knocked him out.
Foreman was counted out. A count of ten. These are the rules of boxing.
No, he didn't get knocked out. They might have scored it a knock out but he wasn't knocked out. George Foreman was basically knocked unbalanced and fell down. Foreman was gassed b/c it was late in rounds. Foreman stood up at the count of 8 but the ref waved the fight off. George Foreman stood up and was not hurt and simply walked back to his corner.
That entire fight seemed fishy to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if a very young Foreman was paid a ton of cash to take a fall in the fight. It's happened before during Ali's past big fights. Foreman did a much better job of letting Ali hit him with something before he fell down unlike Sonny Liston.
Liston was paid a ton of cash and fell down over a punch that would not hurt a fly. But it's really hard to pull off a fake knock out b/c Muhammad Ali did not have much of any power in his punches. He was a weak puncher.

Ali vs Foreman was rigged
No big surprise here. Ali has pulled this crap before.
quote:
The most compelling claim is that Sadler had given Foreman a drug to drain him for the upcoming title defense. Prior to the ring walk, Sadler asked his fighter: “Are you ready for your water now?” After a big gulp, the 2-Time Heavyweight Champion asked if there was any medicine in it and said: “This tastes like medicine,” in reference to the water that he was given. After three rounds, he was exhausted and felt as if he went fifteen. It has been often noted that Foreman’s stamina was his weakness at this time, but he had gone ten rounds on three different occasions prior to this bout, including a tenth round stoppage of Gregorio Manuel Peralta.
quote:
Another note about Sadler was the advice that he was giving as the fight went on. Typically, Foreman would be instructed to take his time, but not this time. He was continually told to continue with the attack, furthering expending any energy that he had on this night. Was this a case of a bad night for a trainer, or do the conspiracy buffs have the first pieces of evidence, proving that George Foreman had the deck stacked highly against him.
quote:
That's what the ex-heavyweight champ suggests in his new memoir, "God in My Corner," revealing his trainer gave him a weird-tasting cup of water just before the bout. "I almost spit it out . . . Man, I know this water has medicine in it,"
quote:
Clayton never reached ten. He stopped the fight when Foreman was on his feet at the count of eight. There were two seconds left in the round, and with the champion on his feet before the referee reached the ten count, he should have been allowed to continue. Clayton did not even evaluate Foreman when he got up. He just called the fight
No big surprise here. Ali has pulled this crap before.
