Indeed. There were quite a few heavies that could have beaten him albeit not as devastatingly as Tyson did.
Hearns looked pretty tasty at Light Heavy against Denis Andries that year so I don't think the natural size of the two men will come into it....
Mustafa Hamsho I Tony Sibson
Sanchez v Cowdell was a near one.
Definitely :good
Back in those days (and much earlier) once a fighter hit 30 he was considered a veteran. This considered coupling it with what Foreman did to...
Liston was the Real Deal,alright. With the exception of Joe Louis,I'd back him to beat any heavyweight champion who preceded him.
This is true. As much as I liked Bruno and found Bowe an *******.
Yes. A lot of Lennox' faults got ironed out after joining Manny Steward.
Lewis was well up for it. Bowe's people did n't want their man anywhere near him.
Hamed was a very good fighter but lost his way. He ended up just going for the payoff punch all the time and forgot his skills. The Kelly fight...
Along with Norton II,Frazier II and the Foreman bout - Ali's best post exile performances.
Lennox and Larry Holmes would stand the best chance. I'd still favour Ali,though.
It was indeed pretty close but the momentum was with young Cassius. He was getting stronger while Liston was tiring.
Yes. He originally wanted to be a discus thrower,apparently.
