    Which 2 places? And why did Wray bother going to the second place if the first one was in say New York?:lol:

    Ken Norton shattered the GOAT's jaw but that doesn't mean he was a dynamite puncher does it??

    He didn't shatter Ali's jaw,he fractured it at the spot that he had a tooth missing.All the info is in Pacheco's book Fight Doctor.

    It was some fracture, in fact the doctors were amazed that Ali could fight with such an injury which led a lot of people to think that the injury occurred late on in the fight and not early on like Ali and his team stated.

    Hearns's KO over Duran is possibly the greatest one-shot KO ever.

    Brutal, even in slow motion!

    I think Dempsey was more capable of ending a fight with one punch from either
    hand right then and there in a fight..But i also think Dempsey with his superior reach and speed was able to get more punches to land the way he intended them to land..Which was the reason

    Interesting thesis, he was certainly the more accurate puncher.

    I remember Jack Johnson saying in his autobiography discussing the first
    Dempsey Tunney fight (he had picked Dempsey) that the rain had made it difficult for Dempsey to get a firm foothold which is essential for his style of boxing
    and if the rain had not prevented Dempsey from landing a few punches the
    way he intended them to land the fight might have ended differently..
