If I recall correctly, Frazier still wanted to keep fighting even after being knocked down for the fifth time, and his cornerman threw in the towel. And these were mostly very heavy knockdowns. Now, I've heard it said that the hardest punches often don't actually hurt as much because you temporarily and/or partially lose consciousness, and/or also go numb from the damage, but still. Most guys would have totally given up after the first or second knockdown.

George displayed the greatness of what he was and despite not being able to win, Joe kept getting up.

Eddie Futch was very worried about the title defense against George because the training camp in Jamaica was a huge party. It wasn't serious at all. He said Joe never took an opponent so lightly and with such disregard for his skills and his gold medal win as he treated George.

Ali hardly any took any punches. Especially to the head. He tied up Foreman, held his head down, blocked, ducked and weaved. And it can be hard to hit a fighter on the ropes-- Foreman was a mid-range fighter, that's why he pushed opponents away, to get them in range. It can be hard to hit a guy on the ropes at mid-range. Foreman punched himself out against Ali. Ali also got inside his head. It was also fought in very hot conditions in Africa. Not excuses, just reasons.

Joe and Marvis like father, like son

“ oh my god that power” top tier glazing 💀💀💀

Ali had Foreman's number that why Ali had the rope a dope...

Whats underrated was foremans ckever and highly skilled defensive techniques. His cross blocking and 'mummy' guard techniques were top shelf and availed him the time and distance to negotiate his attacking skills with the better fighters. Also his ability to adjust his defense on the run was , in many of his fights , the difference between victory and defeat. His fights with holyfield and eventually Michael Moorer at 45 were Master classes in defensive skill.

When foreman was making his comeback, I saw him training. When he hit the heavy bag, the impact lifted the bag. It looked slow but the loud thwack is the sound you make when you throw fast and with full power.

Dundee and Pacheco were yelling stop the fight after the third knockdown.
