    Ali in the rumble, at no point did it look like Foreman had him hurt, had him on the ropes but never did real damage like Frazier did, Ali manhandled Foreman and controlled the ring

    FOTC Frazier is an ATG performance but it was a competitive fight. At no point did Joe look unbeatable.

    Foster Rondon was one of the first classic fights i ever saw. I can't remember if Bob hurt him with the right hand or the left hook though. Whatever it was, it looked like he had no idea where he was.

    Donald Curry had a briefer sort of peak, had he ignored Leonard’s council I think he’d have beaten Hagler.

    Hi Buddy.
    This fight and result mirrored the title fight between Napoles / Pruitt, in so much as both Napoles and Foster were to an extent quite lazy or more precise, languid boxers, both content to take it easy in the early going, slowly building up momentum, unfortunately for them both Rondon and Pruitt bad mouthed the two champs, claiming that they were avoided and or sidestepped, much to the ire of Jose and Bob, and the champs had both promised to put an early and hurtful end to the fights, as transpired, this from the Ring on the Napoles Pruitt fight :
    " It was the biggest mismatch in these parts, since Pancho Villa took on the firing squad " the covering photo of Pruitts face looked like he had swallowed a hand grenade, my all time fav fighter never looked better.
    stay safe dmt, chat soon buddy.
    Mike.
