My view tallies with a lot of these posts. I also think that Ken could've beaten Floyd Patterson.
No !
Really nice to hear this. About time Ken was honoured. On of the best Brits,pound for pound,ever.
I agree. Frazier gradually eclipses Holmes' early lead and pressures him constantly over the 15 round distance. Frazier UD by around 2 - 3 rounds.
I see Ali's prime lasting till he was around 29 or 30 had it not been for the lay off. After that,real life and hypothesis merge,in my view....
Same as my one re Holmes fighting Frazier's men, really. A 24 year old Frazier meets the 1978 Ken Norton and moves on from there right through...
Tyson wins around the fifth or sixth round but he'll know he's been in a fight.
His legacy was already established by the time of those defeats to Charles and Marciano.
Vito takes it by decision. His stamina is the decider in a thrilling fight.
Good summing up,Swag.
Yes. In '74 he'd still have been a handful for any prime champ in heavyweight history.
:good
I see it like that.
I'd agree with you about FOTC Ali if he'd had another two or three fights under his belt. A very close one either way.
Nothing to do with not wanting Holmes to lose a fight ! It was a case of putting Holmes on Frazier's career path. Okay,I'll add the second...
