Ali of Berbick vs Frazier of Jumbo Cummings

I try and watch that at least once a week...

 

I cannot think of a better, more appropriate response LOL!! (Seriously, that would have been a travesty to watch!!)

 

insomnia is a ***** hope you are better now pal

 

Maybe Ali on points in a close fight. Both were a lot more hittable.

Ali did actually win a few rounds against Berbick, but got outworked overall, and I do have Berbick beating Cummings, and very much most likely beats that version of Frazier too.

Ali probably lands a few jabs, then holds, and Frazier doesn’t have the relentlessness or energy to get enough work off.

 

We celebrate annual remembrances in our house.

 

Ali obviously was seriously ill,overweight and looked like he belonged in a rocking chair. That said I did score the Berbick fight as a draw or 1 round win for Ali.It says a lot for how poor the heavyweight division was between 1979-83.

 

Again, Ali looked great against Berbick. The damage was already done. He had at least half a dozen good fights left in him, probably some sunset matches after that. Dude was still sparring into the early 1990's.

Ali v Dokes
Ali v Witherspoon
Ali v Weaver
Ali v Holmes 2

We were robbed of these.

 

Frazier had more left in the tank
He would have beat Ali here

 

Both were shot but Frazier surprisingly looked more far gone than Ali. Hence, I'd say Ali by boring, lackluster decision.

 

I voted "What kind of sadist even brings this up."

 

Just the kind of quality heavyweight thread that BF is known for.

Anyway Frazier looked worse against worse opposition than Ali did, Ali clearly. Though admittedly, I haven't seen Berbick - Ali as recently as I've seen Cummings - Frazier.

 

I am thinking, with varyingtangible, this ends up in drawland.,
