1-5-05 on ESPN was a old replay of Ali vs. Foreman, recored in 1974, unfortunately I missed being able to watch it past the first half of round one. I done just a bit of research and found that foreman lost the fight to Ali. Not only did he lose but he dropped out of sight of the public & and devoted himself to his religious ministry, but in the 1990s he returned to the ring transformed into a rotund, jovial fighter who somehow beat Michael Moorer in 1994 to regain the heavyweight crown at age 45. Now only in my opinion that's a pretty good come back especially at the age of 45. Most boxers/athletes careers are over with by/before that age.

I done just a bit of research and found the Nazis lost World War II.

I just thought I'd share that with the board.

Next I'm going to do just a bit of research on a guy named Mike Tyson. I think he was a famous surgeon.

Come on, lex, finding out that Foreman lost to Ali is not research -- it's like finding out two plus two equals four.

And, yes, you are right about Foreman's comeback. I feel it stands as the greatest comeback in all of sports.
