George Foreman vs. Muhammad Ali
Well, I was thinking: just imagine we had had internet access as Muhammad Ali was about to challenge George Foreman. We probably would have had some tough arguments (actually it probably would have been 'wars' LOL).
I know me, I probably would have predicted a win for Foreman over Ali.

Oh no doubt. I think just about everybody would've picked George; except maybe the true Ali fans.

Yeah, Foreman looked so strong against Frazier, and many people thought the very long lay-off might have damaged Ali's skills just too much. |

I think most boxing experts today rate Ali higher than Foreman. But if Muhammad had never faced George in the ring, don't you agree with me that Foreman would have been seen as the greater of the two (especially when comparing the Frazier and Norton fights; besides, Foreman is the oldest Heavyweight Champ ever)?

I, how should I say it, dislike the Foreman Grill. Lets just say that I love my food cooked good and that thing can't cook stuff at all.
As for the fight, it was before my time. But from what I know about it now I probably would have said something along the lines of "Don't ever count Ali out." And then end up betting my points on Foreman.  |

The way Foreman actually walked through Joe Frazier was impressive.
What do you think would have happened, had there been a rematch, a Ali - Foreman II?
