    I had Ali defeating Berbick... at least on my scorecard.

    No dice. Ali put up a good fight,considering,but Berbick deserved it.

    And I'm a diehard Ali fan.

    I think even Muhammad in 1980 would have taken a unanimous decision at Jeff Shelburg.

    Shelburg was a tough SOB with a big punch, but he was the most undersized heavyweight of the era. Watching him against Tex Cobb was like watching Mini Me fight Dr. Evil. Even the 82' Ali might've just jabbed, run and held to a UD win.
