Jose Roman should have been champion of the world

And he would have walked the Earth like a god.

 

Well its true....but then again Foreman should have been docked points throughout his career for pushing......he pushed enough to be disqualified more than once

 

Dallas fighter Terry Daniels duked it out with Joe "King" Roman in 1972 and lost by UD.
That fight might have given Daniels 2 shots at the Heavyweight under an alternate history
scenario. LOL

 

What heavyweight champ loses their title on a dq?

 

The "champ" Joe "King" calls out Ali.

And Ali did stop Foster in eight.

 

Obvious early stoppage.

 

Back to stinking up the entire front page with eight threads at a time, eh?

Good post...Thanks.

 

Right. 1 time. Out of how many heavyweight title fights? We are talking once out of what 150 bouts? So that means 149 times out of 150 there wasn't a dq. You seldom even see points taken away from a champion. Let alone a popular champion.

 

I remember in one of Joe Louis's fights, his opponent (it was either Ramage or Godoy) clearly hits Louis about a full second after the bell, and Louis looks as though he loses his temper for just a split second, then shakes his head as though to say, "eh, **** it, I'll let it slide" and walks to his corner. This was interesting to me because it seems to fit so perfectly with what I take to Joe Louis' low-key, easy-going personality.
I imagine he shook his head the same way after asking people if they had any of that money he loaned them.
Nice guy almost to a fault.

 

Right...I saw that "event" on film too.
