Iran Barkley and Hagler, I'd have hated to stare across the ring at either. You know they're bringing everything.
Actually it WAS in the second round Read the book Muhammad Ali My Life & Times by Thomas Hauser. The doc & Ferdie Pacheco both said the same thing and wanted Ali to quit he refused. The hospital said afterwards that the pain must have been excruciating as there was a quarter of an inch gap on the break when they X Rayed him
Ike was the complete boxer puncher. He outboxed Tua & he nearly decapitated Byrd the fancy boxer. It took a lying Vegas hooker to bring him down
Sorry man but I'll the word of Angelo Dundee he told us same story. He said doc felt Ali's jaw & he said its broke I can feel it move stop the fight. Ali said no way. No one knew at the time especially Ken Norton as Ali kept fighting. Ali was tough cookie himself
