Tua didn't have enough wars to be considered over the hill. Foreman dominated Briggs at almost 49. Of course everyone knows George was robbed that...
I'm quite aware of Young's chin. Foreman almost had him out of there in the 7th. Bad night for George. Another night and, yes, George had the...
Foreman, by his own account, allowed that fight to get out of hand. The heat and tactics just were not helping George at all that night. Another...
Unforgiven is 100% correct. Another unanswered barrage from Ali and Lyle would have went down, and probably out.

Liston would not blast out Lyle. Liston would have trouble with Young because Young would do his usual "run away" technique.
KenNorton804, Yes, there was such a high level of competition in the 70's, it seems unlikely Liston would be dominant like some think. He'd...
I see much over-rating of Liston here. He would probably be in the top 5 spot in the 70's. He would not clean out the whole division.
Valid point on Frazier's motivation when fighting Ali. It made Joe train harder and get totally focused. Frazier was obviously in his best...
