Did Ali refuse to fight Foreman for a second time because he knew he would lose?

Question

Foreman challenged Ali to a second match, and Ali refused. What does this say about Ali? Was he scared? Did he think he just got lucky the first time? If a champion refuses a challenge, doesn't that put his credibility as champion at stake?

Answer 1

Some how I can't see Ali being afraid of anyone, least of all a guy he knocked out once before.  George was mentally and emotionally scared by the defeat in Zaire, he retired and took about a decade off shortly thereafter before his own second run at the heavyweight title.  

As for creditability issues, or questions about Ali's legacy, there are none.   Ali is almost universally recognized as the greatest heavyweight champion of them all, an incredible accomplishment by any standards.  His life outside the ring surpassed even the three heavyweight titles he won during his boxing career, and Muhammad Ali will forever be held in the highest esteem among America's greatest heroes.

He fought the bigotry and racism of his day with the same tenacity and will that he brought into the boxing ring.  His legacy as a civil rights icon and that of being a spokesman for Black America against a racist governmental establishment elevated him to the stature of a World leader, far eclipsing even his storied ring career.  The controversy surrounding his life rivaled that of Jack Johnson, and made him one of the most recognizable faces on the planet.

A pair of Ali's gloves hang in the Smithsonian museum in Washington D.C., and the man is respected by anyone with the intelligence to understand rational thought.  Why I wasted my time answering you baised and slanted question is beyond me.  You sir should be ashamed of such questions, they dishoner history.
