:33:00
even a man as powerful
and big as Frazier,
:33:03
and he was very much favoured
to win that,
:33:06
suddenly becomes the size of a pygmy.
:33:08
They just diminish in size,
:33:11
and Foreman suddenly became
this gigantic figure.
:33:17
'And he had a trainer, Dick Sadler,
tiny by comparison,
:33:21
'and Sadler would hang on to this
heavy bag while Foreman would hit it.
:33:25
'Sadler would have been
picked off his feet.'
:33:30
(Mailer) 'Foreman hitting the bag
:33:32
'is one of the more prodigious sights
I've had in my life.
:33:37
'Of all the people I've seen hit
heavy bags, including Sonny Liston,
:33:41
'no one hit it the way Foreman did.'
:33:43
At the end of 15 minutes
of pounding the heavy bag,
:33:47
there'd be a hole,
not a hole but a huge dent,
:33:52
the size of half a small watermelon
in that tremendous bag,
:33:56
and Foreman used to use
the biggest heavy bag around.
:33:59
'What would be interesting is Ali,
who would train after Foreman,
:34:03
'would pass this large hall
where the training took place
:34:07
'and he never looked at Foreman
hitting the heavy bag.
:34:11
'He just walked right by
as if Foreman didn't exist.
:34:14
'If you were gonna fight the man
:34:16
'you didn't want to see him
hitting that heavy bag.'
:34:19
I'm a speed demon!
I'm a brain fighter!
:34:22
I'm scientific! I'm artistic!
:34:24
I plan my strategy!
:34:27
He's the bull, I'm the matador!
:34:31
He's scared to death.
:34:34
He's scared to death!
:34:38
He wish he could
get out of the whole thing!
:34:40
He wish he could get out of the whole
thing! The man is frightened!
:34:44
He's meetin' his master,
his teacher, his idol!
:34:48
- Time!
- Is that all?
:34:50
(Laughter)
:34:52
When I talk and work I'm in shape,
it's all I do.
:34:56
(Mailer) 'Ali announced
he was gonna dance.
:34:59
'He spoke about it all the time.
