My apologies; I got the date wrong and part of the tale,too! This is the quote from the book:" The Dundees, it seems pertinent to point out, were...
Bonavena. "Sailor" Tom Sharkey. Prime Foreman. Mickey Walker. Bennie Briscoe. So many, really. That is just a few off the top of my head....
Just watched the Mildenburger fight and you're right! Ali floors Mildenburger and hovers over him, ready to go again. Now if THAT right hand had...

Even Joe said Foreman was all wrong for him!
I think the 1971 fight gets overshadowed by The Thriller in Manila, to be honest. No coincidence that Ali won that one. Joe Frazier beat an Ali as...
