Certainly his best post exile performance until the second Norton bout. He was simply one step ahead of Quarry all the way.
I agree with you about Hamed. Better overall than Tapia and I also thought Hamed was a knob.
I would say that basing the Ali of 1967 as scoring 10/10 the incarnation of the second Quarry,second Norton,second Frazier and Foreman fights...
Yeah,they don't make fighters like The Hitman anymore,Fergy. We were guaranteed a thriller practically everytime Hearns laced 'em up.
Hello. I noticed that I'd originally forgot to put Frazier II. I've now amended it.
Quarry II,NortonII,Frazier II and the Foreman fight were the nearest Muhammad got to his sixties self.
Yeah Tim would have schooled AJ
Good point. Nice to see you back.
I rate Witherspoon as the third best heavy of the 1980s. Very much pick & mix out of the alphabet boys of that decade but Tim just about takes it.
Yeah,definitely. Ray's day had passed and he could no longer beat the tough younger generation on the block.
Very good question,Fergy. I reckon though by '91 Benn may have beaten Ray. Especially if he paced himself more as he was starting to do after...
I reckon so Fergy. As tough and strong as Jeffries was,he was pretty one dimensional compared to the multi skilled Johnson.
Definitely Tim Witherspoon and maybe Greg Page and Pinklon Thomas. Tony Tubbs (in shape) would also have a chance.
Jeffries was very good. A rough,tough and strong fighter but I would still have backed Jack Johnson to have beaten a prime version of Jeff. Would...
I read that before their fight Jeff lifted up Bob Fitzimmons like Bob was a rag doll.
