There was also talk of Joe fighting Earnie Shavers and Ron Lyle. Both men would have been risky propositions at that stage in his career
Very true,Richard. Would have been a sad sight. Such a pity that Joe and Muhammad Ali never called it a day for good following Manilla.
And with Larry Holmes in his prime,Frazier would have stood no chance at all

Could well have happened. In 1977 the former was WBC champion and the latter WBA titleholder. Both men were very good champions. It was only due...

I see Tucker losing on a wide points decisions to 1973 Frazier and '73 and '75 Ali. Bugner loses to Tyson but I can see Joe hanging on till the...
This sounds pretty good! The '74 Ali would be too much a handful for even a peak Tyson. Muhammad would still match him for hand and footspeed...
Ken stops Leon within six rounds. Once Norton begins to time Spinks' rushing attacks,the writing would be on the wall. Spinks would n't have...
