    I have seen this before. But now it’s sad that none of them are left including Dunphy. Will we ever get another chance at this sort of era? Unfortunately I doubt it. All great champions.

    George was notably playful with Ali in kind - letting his mean, heavily Liston- influenced veneer/mask down for a moment.

    Ahh it's so nice to see em all together, but sad also to think they've all gone now.
    How many times have those in the ring being talked about on here and will continue to be?
    All legends.

    Their first fight was so bitter because of outside forces ... really about as bitter as FOTC in some ways ... but by their second fight Ali and Patterson were OK with each other and my understanding is they had a good relationship late in life. Same with Foreman. It was only Joe who took the grudge to his grave.

    Was that the one with Bonavena handing jacket to Joe Louis so he can challenge Ali to fight.

    Looks like Floyd got out of the ring before the others entered.

    Cool of George to note that he got to shake hands with Patterson for the first time and praised him.
