Have to agree. Foreman was absolutely ripe for a left hook and Ali held back. Have always thought that he knew if George managed to get up, he could finish him quickly.

College roomie hated Ali & wanted to do a $100 bet on the outcome. No way did I have a spare $100, in case I was wrong and Ali lost to the lumbering Foreman. Damn was my roomie disappointed and I never let him forget it. Was still busting his balls a month before he died, reminding him that both he and his most hated boxer, Ali, both had Parkinson's. John caught the irony immediately.
