    Nonesense.

    Larry was tiring in the 15th.

    Ten or twelve more rounds, and Randy wouldda had him.

    yeah - that would be george foreman vs dwight qawi :patsch

    qawi had no means to defend himself against the bigger man - he was harmless. it is like a rabbit going against a snake. rabbit can bit the snake's tail at best. so sad. george should have been ridiculed for taking that fight - even if he was 42. when you know the other guy has no chance or ability to do anything - that is a mismatch. chris byrd vs wladamir klit comes to mind. byrd was 0 threat to the chinny wlad - good matching up for wlad's team.

    The stepping on the foot is a myth. True Ali totally outboxed him but I think of a mis- match as a first rnd blow out like Tyson/ Michael Spinks.
    I heard Manny Steward say Wepner was the only fighter to knock down Ali while Ali was the champ. If he just stepped on his foot why did Ali stay down for so long? He took quite a body shot that's why.

    I agree that PBF v. Gatti was indeed a mismatch. But it's funny how on Fight Night SO MANY people were on here running their mouths about how Gatti was gonna knock him out.

    Didn't Wepner drop Ali? I remember seeing this on ESPN Classic

    Yes he did, a body shot that landed just below Ali's heart and stopped it. Ali lost his equilibrium and fell.

    and by the way, regardless of the knock down, it's was a hell of a mismatch.
