In Ali's room after the fight everybody shakin' their head. Truly amazing. I was in NZ working in the shearing sheds and got to town and went to the Marquis hotel and watched this fight and guess what..... I'm STILL shaking my head !!!!!

George Foreman is a brilliant, exemplary human being, he is a joy to all , he was bested on the night by Ali and he was born into a different George. Truly love them both

What a night,I seen it closed circuit ,the fieldhouse was a madhouse. A real good documentary. The tank did go empty.Ali improvised, manhandled,out thought everyone. @ David Frost was spot on.!

Both were great boxers with great personalities

If young Muhammad Ali was around today it would be so perfect.

GENIUS!

The guy Ali’s playing slapping and chasing is former 50’s great featherweight champion and Foreman trainer, Sandy Saddler.

No, it’s Dick Sadler, Foreman’s trainer. Sadler got fired after Zaire. Sandy Saddler was one of Foreman’s cornerman. He weighed about 75 pounds less than Sadler.

After watching george foreman movie i love both of them i love Ali and george foreman

As Tyson said to beat Ali you have to prepare to go 15 rounds as Joe Frazier and Norton prepared, Ali was in his words

Ali was really the greatest...

This is amazing when I thought I’ve seen everything to do with Ali there’s always more!

I think either guy could have KO'd the other. Ali outsmarted George. George used that knowledge to outsmart Moorer 20 years later. I love Ali and George. George and Ali became good friends since the late 70's after George retired the first time. If you watch Ali in some interviews circa1978, he speaks highly of George as a fighter. Things are different when you're not competitive.

Thanks good documentary

I used to think George would win a rematch but it seemed like Ali exposed Foreman that night.

Ali was unreal. He did exactly as he said he would.

Yes and no. He did defeat Foreman but not in the manner he said he would. Ali said he would dance and evade Foreman, but when he quickly disccovered(in the first minute of the fight) how good Foreman’s footwork was, he improvised and went to the rope-a-dope. That defines “ring generalship.”

If George kept this going till the 15th round he would win on points

and after the fight he proved to be the greatest of all time infront of the wholeworld

Muhammad Ali did not just win because George Foreman punched himself out, Ali won because of the punches he threw at Foreman. Ali’s combinations knocked Foreman flat on his back.

Foreman got in trouble for fighting in the job corps and they gave him another chance and he promised himself to be the best dishwasher and floor mopper-that pride and attention to detail is why he's a billionaire now.....Ali Frazier Forman and Holmes all born in the 40's combined for 3 gold medals 7 linear championship wins and 51 title defenses and Lyle Norton Shavers pretty good too Quarry Young Bugner too

Agreed. That was Bob (the Colonel) Sheridan. Not only did he talk too much, he screwed up the count and reached only 8 when Foreman was counted out. That led many to think Foreman had been jobbed by a quick count, but a review of the tape showed he was down for just over 10 seconds. Funny thing about that knockdown-Foreman’s head never hit the canvas.

Foreman was nothing but a big lump he only looked good against certain opponents
