Here, Brian London is attemting to knock out Cassius Clay with his 'chin punch'. Brian London, "Well the Champion was taught the 'anchor punch' by 'Stepin Fetchit'. I was taught the 'chin punch' by Bennie Hill." The Champion was floored '7' times in Round 5, by the 'chin', before being counted out. Cassius Clay, "I was hit so hard, I thought I was in the movie "To Sir, With Love', and I was going out with Judy Geeson." This content is protected
destruction old boy, this happens to be a spoof of all the "what if Ellis beat Frazier" type threads and it's many clones. ...a thread topic that's about as boring as the umpteenth "list the hardest hitting heavyweights" "what's your top 10 list of great heavyweights" or for that matter, lists of all kinds.
If by some miracle of the almighty, if Brian London would have won the title from champion Muhammad Ali on August 6 1966, London would have then have been obligated to fight Karl Mildenberger on Sept 10 1966 in Frankfurt, Germany according to the signed contract by both Ali and London.
Karl and Brian both beat a young Jack Johnson … ok, granted, it was a guy named Young Jack Johnson but that has to count for something. London was also the conqueror of Rademacher and Cooper — yeah it was Jim Coooper and Henry beat Brian twice. But they named the biggest city in the entire UK after Brian so I give him an edge there because the closest Karl has to an equivalent is a town of fewer than 10,000 in Germany named Miltenberg. Really no contest there. Mostly, in this exercise London defeated Ali so he’s probably best the German too. So with the win over Ali, I figure he holds the psychological edge if there’s a rematch and having twice beaten Muhammad most of the top guys are scared stiff of the London Broil. The culmination of all this is the new Fight of the Century, London vs. Frazier. I figure they make it for Wembley and I rate them dead even in this reality. Toss-up for sure.
August 6 1966 was a long way from FOTC, March 8 1971, anything could have happened. Let's suppose that Brian London travels to Frankfurt, Germany, gets outboxed or stopped by challenger Karl Mildenberger, who was an awkward southpaw. Then of course London and Ali battle it out to face Mildenberger. Ali wins and faces Karl sometime in late 1966 or early 1967, remember Ali is still having issues with the Selective Service, he does not want to be drafted into the U.S Military, Vietnam is still a possibility for him. A lot of things to take into account if an upset victory for Brian London on August 6 1966 would have happened, he would then be declared as the original Rocky Balboa instead of Chuck Wepner in 1975, joining the Cinderella Man James J. Braddock in 1937. Trick Or Treat. Ha Ha.
pretty straightforward. Assuming he takes Ollie and the rematch he takes on the number one contender Zora Foley and history tells us London takes it easily. I am concerned that London has issues against George Forman leading to Ali in London sorting it out in Manila.
