I like this assessment.
Holmes wins 2 out of 3 with Norton and Frazier,beats Foreman but has to rise from the canvas to do it.
I always envisaged Holmes winning it just the way he did. And,yes,Cooney was hyped to the hilt.
Joe Frazier "Personally I could n't care less who wins"
I see a trilogy if both were in their prime. All would be close ones and either man could win the fights. One would probably get 2/3.
Wherever you are,Floyd - Happy birthday. A fine champion.
Muhammad Ali UD 15 Riddick Bowe. Ali beats Bowe to the punch too often.
Would have panned out approximately the same - Frazier wins a distinct yet close decision.
Hard to call with that one,Russell. Each of the three was great to watch with advantage seesawing constantly. My fondest one was the second....
Muhammad was fighting back effectively so yes Mercante was right to let it carry on.
All three of their fights were good action packed bouts. Not much sweet science but pretty entertaining. N.B - Each fight of their trilogy...
Could Ray beat a naturally bigger snd stronger guy as he did with Donny Lalonde ? Or would Andries' who had a better chin than Lalonde,wear...
Muhammad Ali John Conteh Sugar Ray Leonard Roberto Duran Ken Norton
I was eleven years old when I watched the second Muhammad Ali-Henry Cooper fight in 1966. It all started for me then.
Good points. Ray was unsatisfied with his performance against Kevin Howard but think he eventually realised that it was n't too bad considering...
