Muhammad's most celebrated performance when it comes to a breathtaking exhibition of all his skills. Poetry in motion.
Deontay Wilder's costumes that are too heavy.
Another question this throws up,Fergy is that if Ezzard had come along later,as per your thread,would he have been given a shot at the 175lb...
