Johnson took a dive against Willard. Hal Bagwell has the record for the greatest number of bouts without defeat during his entire career.
I agree with what you are saying about Douglas still having his wits about him but, in my opinion, he left it dangerously late and many refs would have waved it over. He was physically still down at 'nine' and could have been counted out in the act of rising Ultimately, I'm no Tyson fan. Douglas finished it in style.
This whole Tommy Morrison thing is completely ****ed up. What's his status at the moment...first he has HIV, then he doesn't, then he does again, but the last I heard he had a clear test?!?!?!?:huh
Ali fought like crap in that fight aswell......Ali like Holyfield were classic fighters who fought to the level of there opposition hence why they were underestimated on so many occasions.
Yeah thats what i think, as a champion he did not have much love....I reckon his mind went through several things.....he understood deep down that Ali was better.....Ali seemed faster in this fight aswell.....got caught and did go down but then thought to himself **** this il stay down. Then of course JJ Walcott made a hash of things and I think Liston then went and thought cant stay down to long. Liston like many dominant power punchers before and after him, we so used to dominating oppostion that the second they faced someone good enough to fight back, they failed.
Im a Tyson fan, think he was one of the best that ever lived. B. Douglas fought an incredible fight and would have beaten alot of top top fighters of any period with that one performance. Of course carrers are not made by just one, you need to be consistent, and have many more.
:-( This can't be a myth, it is such a characteristic thing for King to do....please don't ruin the image
Naz actually boxed well again against Calvo but there didnt seem to be any power. Really weird watching that fight, so different to all his other fights.
