Ali had upped his defense so much by this point in his career, a diamond chin and body, cracking his defense was such a tumultuous task that I...
as a person, I don't like Tyson, but on the same hand it is nice to see a sort of 'redemption' of a fighter... we don't get that all too often...
do you know whether or not either man was green or post-prime? I am fairy unfamiliar with both.
It's odd that of all the fights I agree Buster v Fury is the largest mismatch. I give Torres and Patterson a better chance than most might.
I rate guys that come back from knockdowns much higher than iron chins.
the rock had the dog in him. I would put forward Graziano too, not the greatest resume but the guy always showed up to throw down.

I really do think it was embarrassment as Walcott was not only black but a 5' 1" natural welterweight.
inspired by @Coco recent thread. I would storm with Ali in the first Liston fight, getting to be in the room with him, Ray Robinson, and Liston...

His greatest win is the first Walcott bout which I rate very highly. In that fight Marciano fought one of the most tricky fighters the division...
going to watch this tonight, i am extremely excited. will post my thoughts later!
