I was independently quoting from memory according to newspaper accounts of what Ali said in the days immediately following their match, so it was...
George Chip was MW champion, but Joe Chip was the brother who knocked out Greb. Can Joe be argued for as superior to George though? Their records...
As this was in 1981, any punchstats would probably have to be reconstructed from the footage. (Even then, does Berbick's flailing toward Ali's...
Agreed. Joe could well hit the deck early, but no one punch was ever going to stop him, and Earnie was not a great finisher. Now, as for stopping...
The Zale-Graziano bouts had multiple knockdowns, the winner got off the deck to win the first two, and their two fights match were Ring's FOTYs...

Made him cry the first time too.
I don't think either would be out of focus for the other. Jack was by far faster than Max, who was conclusively out sped by Carnera. Sharkey was...

For whatever it's worth, I scored Ali the winner over Berbick, 97-93. Ali was far better against Berbick than John Tate had been, or than Greg...
Thanks for the reply. Part of the reason Ali was hitting Cooper at will was probably due to Henry having impaired vision from the severe bleeding...
He did the best he could with the materials he had at his disposal, some admittedly flawed, but he did have the benefit of evaluating Robinson's...
The rope-a-dope was really an improvised lightning in a bottle type scenario. When Ali later tried it against Leon Spinks, Leon repeatedly split...
Some things to consider here. Floyd had unusual hand speed, described as a match for Ali's own. Henry Cooper said Patterson's hands were even...
