This was a Rite of Passage fight for Tyson. His "Doug Jones" moment. An upcoming talented contender will come across an opponent who pushes him...
Walcott ranks higher in my way of thinking. Ken may have got the best scalp in beating Muhammad Ali in their first go but aside from that Joe...
Nice thread,Fergy. Probably pans out similarly to their 1936 bout if Joe has n't yet met Max in this alternative reality.
Another vote for Mr Walker Smith.
Oh yes! Muhammad may have been way past even his seventies best by the time he fought Shavers but he still had that cast iron chin.
Definitely! Hagler-Hearns Hagler-Mugabi
Excellent points,Scartissue. Fights,like songs,can catch a moment in time for us all.
I agree. There are n't many I would confidently pick over Hagler at 160 lbs.
Hagler-Hearns was one of the greatest fights ever in my opinion. Not THE greatest but certainly one of the best in my lifetime. I would pick...
At welterweight, I take it ? Leonard by pretty clear decision.
1970s without a doubt.
I bought this single when it first came out. Who recalls 'Ali Shuffle' by Georgie Fame ? Came out around the same time.
Lol. Love it.
I remember most of the boxing press predicting that it would be a good fight. And as we all know,it turned out to be a classic.
A true one off.
