I think both men were n't bad at singing. Ali did a passable version of Stand By Me and Frazier did the same with Soul Man.
I make Holmes favourite against Liston. Foreman would be a good 50/50 one.
Anytime a fight is more competitive than many think it's going to be,the underdog always gets more slack on the cards. I had it 9 - 5 - 1 to...
Leonard was really good on that night. Even though Hagler was past his best,so was Leonard so that victory was an great achievement.
Without a doubt.
Good sum up. Both Ken's and Joe Frazier's chins get sold short a lot in some quarters because of what happened in their fights with George...
Spinks obviously had better victories at heavyweight. Even a shopworn 35/36 year old version of Larry Holmes was better than anyone Haye ever beat.
A good case for him being called Germany's second best heavyweight.
This bout signified the end of an era. Brutal - Neither man was the same again. I scored it 8 - 6 for Ali.
Same scoring as my card.
I gave Hagler nine rounds. Duran put up a good fight.
Holmes was nowhere near his prime when he fought Tyson. 38 years old and coming off a near two year lay off ?? Holmes was stupid in...
Prime Ali outboxes Holmes clearly. Pure speed. Seventies Ali ? The best version of that decade (1972-74) just about nicks it if...
Tyson should have been pulled out a round or two earlier.
Lasty few times I watche it,I had Ali winning 8 - 7.
