    That #9 rating of Spinks was a joke though.

    It's Reign not Rein.

    I've wondered why Ali went 15 with Chuvalo yet Frazier KO'D the Canadian.

    George Chuvalo was never knocked off of his feet, but you are right, Joe Frazier did stop him by TKO.

    I just revisited the fight on YouTube. Chuvalo was severely cut over his eye...the cut went to the bone and later required surgery. He also had a gash on his head. So yes it was a TKO; Chuvalo was hurt but didn't go down.

    Ron Lyle went from a high tier # 3 to # 8 because he had just been upset by Jimmy Young in Honolulu. Ali gave him his shot anyway.

    Styles make fights...... Frazier gave Ali hell for almost 40 total rds. Frazier was annihilated by Foreman in 2rds
    Ali stops Foreman in 8rds.
