    If he was badly hurt then why did he get right back up!?..I think Ali was stunned more than anything, but im not saying that shot didnt hurt..im sure it it.

    Yes Max I think you do!!...I did and I dont see anything to support your comment..Besides!, even if there was a delay(not any split gloves) Ali would have still busted his ass..

    Quarry wasnt a bad fighter at all!..pretty tough guy , he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time when fighting guys like Ali or Frazier..

    The question is not does he have "a fine resume"? But did he clean out the division? I think it has been demonstrated that he did not.

    He was so unhurt that he got up twice just to prove it. :lol: If you believe that was a flash knockdown, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.
