{{Main|George Foreman vs. Joe Frazier II}}

For his next bout, Foreman chose to face [[Joe Frazier]] in a rematch. Frazier was then the world's number-three heavyweight per ''The Ring''.<ref name="boxrec1975"/> Because of the one-sided Foreman victory in their first fight, and the fact that Frazier had taken a tremendous amount of [[Thrilla in Manila|punishment from Ali in Manila]] a year earlier, few expected him to win. Frazier at this point was 32–3, having lost only to Foreman and Ali twice, and Foreman was 41–1, with his sole defeat at the hands of Ali. However, their rematch began competitively, as Frazier used quick head movements to make Foreman miss with his hardest punches. Frazier was wearing a contact lens for his vision, which was knocked loose during the bout. Unable to mount a significant offense, Frazier was eventually floored twice by Foreman in the fifth round and the fight was stopped. Next, Foreman knocked out [[Scott LeDoux]] in three rounds and prospect John Dino Denis in four to finish the year.<ref name="EP1">{{cite book |title=Greatest Sports Heroes of All Times |date=August 2006 |publisher=Encouragement Press |isbn=9781933766096 |page=76 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Foreman Inks with ABC's Growing Black TV Family |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8kIDAAAAMBAJ&dq=John+Dino+Denis+george+foreman+four+rounds&pg=PA61 |access-date=March 27, 2025 |work=Jet |date=November 4, 1976 |page=61}}</ref>
