Marvin simply can't accept that Leonard had far more left than he or most others thought he had. And that starting slowly and boxing orthodox...
Could n't agree more. Ray's resume at welter,alone,makes him an all time great.
Good fight. Like a lot I thought that Fury should have been judged the winner,but the two knockdowns made it very close. Rematch please,guys.
Good choices. We can add Reg Gutteridge to the mix.
I can't really see any damage coming from Ron Lyle. In that one,Muhammad was in a lazy mood during the early rounds and Ron was picking up points...
Louis was on fire that night. Max would have been taken out early cracked vertebrae or not.
FOTC took more out of the victor than the losing combatant.
I also believe that Muhammad's legs in 1972-74 were better than in 1971. Although,obviously,not as good as 1967.
Good point. If anything G of M sanitises Frazier.
Definitely ONE of the greatest of all time. Shame that he never got the chance to beat Riddick Bowe.
It's true what's said about Muhammad going over the top when it came to name calling with Joe. Ali admitted this quite frequently after both men...
Even though he was n't a dynamite puncher,Ken would still be too good for Willard and I doubt that Jess would have anything in his armoury that...
Hope all goes well,McVey.
Definitely agree with you about Leonard,Hearns and Duran.
I loved Lloyd's performance in that fight with Donald Curry. If he'd maintained that form and mindset I reckon he may well have beaten...
