    And Frazier's use of his head by putting it on the opponent's cheek and boring/moving it around.

    An honorable way, you mean like holding the opponent behind the head, when it's boxing and not wrestling?


    Great job of calling a man who risked his life and health 40 times by fighting guys like Foreman, Shavers and Lyle, though. You are right, whoever does that is a coward, but you are a true hero. :good One of the greatest keyboard warriors of all time. :good


    I must have missed the part of the rules where it states "If no one wants to see one fighter as champion, the 10 point must system goes out of the window, and he loses automatically."


    Like someone else said, if Ali did the same then he would've been called brilliant, inventive and showing another aspect of his greatness at psychological warfare. Young did it to get a mental edge on Ali and it worked. So what? Every fighter fouls. Unless the referee takes away a point or disqualifies, you can't play ref by your own, although a lot of people here seem to think so, because it's about Ali.

    ali was the fighter of the 1960's and the athlete of the 20th century ,thats all that has to be said.i enjoyed watching ali's fights on wide world of sports in the 60's he made that decade fun .yeah he held behind the head.but because who he was he got away with it,there'll never be another fighter like him.get off his back man

    I don't know if you're a literal simpleton or if you actually think logic like that is okay in ANY walk of life.

    Yeah, but nothing was going to stop the mega payday that was Norton/Ali III.

    Kind of Like Hoya looking terrible against Sturm right before the Hopkin's fight. But really, corrupt judging saves the day when massive paydays are looming.

    Stinging stuff.

    This changes absolutely nothing about you being unable to see past the end of your end hand. It's more then a little pathetic that someone several decades younger then you is far less biased and knowledgeble about what's being discussed.

    The best part about talking to ignorant people is that they're 100% sure that they're the ones who think they're right. :tired

    It does not make it right but Sweat Pee picked up that head through the ropes tactic and used it quite often

    Young was clever and the tactic he used (sweat pea picked up"sticking his head out of the ring) Ali got away with the neck pulling and leaning for years because of who he was most of the ref's were intimadated.....Young should have gotten the win but Ali had the boxing politicos on his side....Young get discouraged after the Norton fight and the Ali fight...grew a pair of man boobs and decided to keep them..

    Christ, I think we outta praise Ali for allowing Jimmy Young to get so much ink on paper...... Jesus Christ....... Ali had a lousy night against Young in '76, but at least Ali was making the fight by chugging forward... Young stunk..... Nuff said....... I G.A.F!!
