It hasn't really, because I only said it to point out the pass that Ali gets in these fantasy fights. I obviously rate Ali highly but also...
Ali couldn't floor Cooper. Try again.
I think Max would beat Spinks because he was a very good puncher with the right hand. I remember Holmes wobbling Spinks with a glancing right in...
And that was the whole point of the thread. You have put it better than I could have, so thanks for the help!
I've lost count of how many times I have watched that fight. It showcased all of Louis's qualities, chin included.
But what I am getting at is Ali is favoured to beat the type of fighter he has no history of beating, as if it's a given. No other great gets that...
Lewis had an uppercut for a start, a punch Ali lacked. He had fast hands, not Ali or Tyson fast but still quick and threw good combos.
Size is a factor. Size and quality can be insurmountable sometimes. Unless you are Ali.
No one and vice versa. Kind of my point.
I'm no troll, I've been here for years. Who has Ali beaten who is as good all round as Lewis?
:lol::lol:
We are, but people with average footwork got to Ali in his prime. I think Lewis could find Ali.
Maybe because you think outside the box, Ears? :lol: I do, too. Have you seen through my cunning plan, yet?
Ali beat nobody with a combination of Lewis's size, power, punch variety, hand speed and heart. Not even in his prime.
So other factors can come into play even against very big, great fighters? Interesting...
