I envision Neon Leon Spinks beating Muhammad Ali, James Braddock outpointing Max Baer, Jimmy Young decisioning Big George Foreman, and a sublimely...
I agree Ali became shot after Manila, where as Mark Kram said, he came as an "am" and left as a "was". In a rare moment of candor, Ali himself...

When the day of the fight arrived, I was scared to death, but I had my father and my brother with me. All my friends from the neighborhood and...
