Yeah there was a million miles between them in ability. They're good mates now apparently.
Good post.
Styles maketh the fight,indeed.
Good summing up,Richard.
A tough one for sure. If Lyle can't nail Ken early then he's going to get outboxed.
Hi Richard. Which Ali out of 1971 and '74 incarnations would you say was the best?
Sonny all wrong for Ken. Only goes three rounds at the most.
And both men had more than useful right hands too.
I've talked to John H a few times. Nice bloke.
They were both warriors and that would come out in the later part of the fight especially. So I think we would have seen a good battle.
Good post by the way.
That Palomino-Green bout was bloody good. Dave was always good to watch but if John H Stracey had been just a little sharper he'd have won...
I hear you....big time. Larry Holmes handled his finances perfectly.
Yeah so many sad stories of fighters from those times.
1967 - Ali wins a clear albeit hard fought decision. Simply too fast for Holmes. 1971 - Holmes wins a clear verdict. Something like 9 - 6 in...
