    ABC logic is, obviously, broken many a time. But it's interesting to think of specific examples and just how wrong they end up being.

    Frazier beats Ali - Ali beats Foreman - Foreman beats Frazier is one of the easiest.

    Ezzard Charles beats Joe Louis - Joe Louis beats Joe Walcott - Joe Walcott beats Ezzard Charles

    What've you got?

    Foreman beats Norton - Norton beats Ali - Ali beats Foreman.

    Jones beats Tarver - Tarver beats Johnson - Johnson beats Jones.

    Don't think thats a good 1 considering Charles arguably beat Walcott 3-1 in the series and Walcott arguably got jobbed against Louis in the first and Charles faced an older Louis

    Harry Greb-Tiger Flowers-Mickey Walker

    Not a great example since there was room for interpretation in most of those fights.

    I'm predicting it will happen soon again:

    Mijares beat Arce
    Vic beat Mijares
    and coming soon Arce will beat Vic

    Why do you feel Acre will win that one?

    Because Arce has a great chin and does his best against opponents who stand in front of him.
    Vics awkwardness ****ed Mijares up and we saw the result. I highly doubt Arce will be bothered by this.
    I am also not sold on Vic. Sure he looked great his last fight but what about before that?

    Yep although Lewis beat McCall too, hard to find them quite as emphatic as Ali-Foreman-Frazier
