    heres the 1st video

    im looking for the dundee post fight 1 now.


    in my eyes..he lost this fight, in the reasoning that dundee admitted to pausing the fight on purpose after ripping clays glove himself, after henry knocked clay down, so it gave clay time to regain himself, which is a cheap move. so no one should bad mouth charles liston for cheating when cassius did too.


    the above statement is the words of the bbbc.

    dude are you ignorant or something? Watch the fight inbetween rounds! Ali got a few extra seconds at best! There are no cutoffs in the film. Watch from minute 7:20 and on, he got 10 seconds extra at best.

    he said it yes, but it might have been a case of him getting senile.

    Ali #1 in my book. To adjust to his limitations after his forced exile is remarkable/practically unbelievable when you consider all the great fighters he beat post 1970. 2-5 is up for grabs.

    Cassius split his glove on the seam near the thumb," Angelo Dundee later explained. "Actually, it happened in the first round. I spotted the tear and told him, 'Keep your hand closed.' I didn't want anyone to see it because everything was going our way. Then, at the end of the fourth round, he got nailed. So when he came back to the corner, I helped the split a little, pulled it to the side, and made the referee aware that there was a torn glove."

    No back-up gloves were available and, after a brief delay, the fight resumed. " I don't know how much time that got us," Dundee acknowledged. "Maybe a minute, but it was enough. If we hadn't gotten the extra time, I don't know what would have happened. I think Cassius would have made it through, but we don't have to answer that question."



    theres part of it.

    3. Henry Armstrong
    4. Muhammad Ali
    5. Joe Louis

    I have a tough time with number 5 on my list - it is usually between Sam Langford, Joe Louis, Willie Pep, and Benny Leonard.

    Can you imagine PBF nearly nocking out Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis :)

    This is why I never rated Jack Johnson, one of the most overrated HW's in history.

    Sugar Ray Robinson - Historically the # 1 rate fighter
    Roberto Duran - Best fighter I personally have ever seen
    Henry Armstrong - First of the multiple division champs
    Joe Louis - 20 something defenses, video of him is missleading, he is better than he looks
    Ray Leonard - probably my least liked fighter of all time, but he was good
