Interesting mention of Lyle. If he'd had more amateur experience he may have been a more well rounded fighter.
Ali said that himself. He was only scared for the first round of the first Liston fight.
This is pathetic ! :fire I've always thought this. Particularly as there have been times when George actually ADMITTED that he was scratching...
My thoughts precisely. As long as Graham fought the right type of fight.

Spot on. If Spinks had shown up for the rematch with the same focus and in the physical condition of fight one,he'd still have lost,albeit...
Ken outclasses a brave Hatton. Too much overall skill would see him to a clear points verdict.
Ali was obviously way over the hill. Not a patch on the fighter that he was in Zaire just four years previously. Thankfully he had enough left...
Conteh and Duran win. Duran had the frame,we all know,to move up and be very effective at Welter. Monzon would n't have beaten Conteh....

Me too
I consider Shavers a bit of a late bloomer. Yes,his fights with Ali and Holmes came at a pretty late time in his career but his stamina was never...
Agreed. It would have been a nigh on impossible task for Ken to reverse the Foreman loss. George's chin was tougher that Earnie's,for a start.
As good as Arguello was I can't see him outboxing Pep. Pep over 15.
