I think thats an accurate assessment. I'd take 66-67 Ali to reverse that outcome without batting an eyelash. I'd put money on it too.
I subscribe to this. Nobody Rocky EVER fought had the kayo ability that Liston did. Louis was too old to be a real, tremendous punching threat. I...
Hindsight is awesome. Still the biggest upset in history of the sport because NOBODY was saying otherwise before it happened.
My grandfather, a German citizen, said that the Nazi's actually gave Max a better shot than the Americans did. Had they not, they would have...
This. He didn't in his time, but he certainly does amongst the boxing knowledgeable now.
Several of Ali's corner men say this did not happen. The ones who claim it did, weren't anywhere near Ali's corner. That said, it sucked to see...

I feel Lyle actually has a style advantage here. Trevor would present a bit to easy a target, and get hit quite often. And when Lyle could whack...
Tyson-Douglas. For the first time really in boxing history, it was an inconceivable result. EVERYBODY but Buster Douglas, his camp, his friends...

Monzon is a bit better and too big and strong. But Martinez has the skills and the unconventional speed of attack to make things interesting...
I'd pick Tunney, for an upset. Johnson had more inside skills and rough tricks, but on the tape I've seen, Gene was actually more complete, and...
I agree. I think the styles mesh up well for Martinez. I do, however, feel his power may become overrated after his latest win. It was more a case...
I completely misstated that :oops: I meant to say, he was another link in the chain upwards, not its pinnacle. I dealt injustice to several...
I do agree with you sir. He just quit. Cut the goose. Probably didn't want to be there in the first place, but he still got up and went back to...
