Floyd had faster hands but, given his demeanor, he never let loose like he should have, only showing us that numbing speed on occasion. "Passive...
I'm thinking Ali, prior to exile vs. Ali after he came back against Quarry in late 70. Given that scenario, it may well have been a 'scrap'....
Yeah, I agree but...after a good performance against Holmes, who had the tools to beat him he should have stepped RIGHT back into the ring 6...
Ed was a good guy. I've read a little about his decision to fight pro. He was always a fight fan, had tools, at least, to give it a shot. His dad...
Bugner NEVER took chances, especially if he was in a big fight. "Never has been so little been done with so much talent". I'll say this again...
Maybe Ali winning the last round sealed the SD? My $0.02
The Great Sonny we prop up was gone by the late 60's. Who knows how old he was. A true enigma in the sport. His only substantial win, after Ali,...

Totally agree plus...the original poster put Holly at prime in 1959; at that time he wouldn't have been the same Holly we've seen. 1959 Holly vs....
It would have been too much for Floyd, at his age, but he wouldn't be face down in a puddle that's for sure!!! Rising and stopped.
Hi Red! Long time no talk bud! We'll catch up at some point. (Negotiating retirement at the moment :)) In retrospect I don't see the Thrilla as...
That's about the best comment I've seen so far. Foreman was 'brain-dead' against Lyle but..Lyle was never going to win. I thought Ron was dead at...
Any Greb, Liston-Folley, etc...
