I see your reasoning but there's also a good chance that a prime Evander would be far more gung ho and leave himself open to more of Lennox'...
He'd still have lost and convincingly so. Since their first fight the previous year,Liston was another year older while Ali was still improving.
Good points.
George would always have been uncomfortable with a master boxer type such as Ali and Young. Larry Holmes too.
Young may well have been a banana skin for Foreman no matter when they fought.
Tyson Fury deserves a lot of credit for his victory. Okay,it may have been far from a classic bout but Fury fought the perfect fight for that...
This is about right in my view.
Both Klitschkos are undoubtably the best heavies since Lennox Lewis. Greatest ever ? No.
A rugged fight ensues until Marciano grinds his man down and stops him around halfway through a 15 rounder.
Night Train's a fine tune. Especially the James Brown version.
Oh yes ! :good
Very true :good Only a sadist would have had Frazier go out for that final round. Joe could have got SERIOUSLY hurt had Eddie Futch not had...
I definitely agree that Ali was winning the RITJ quite comfortably apart from catching a few haymakers and that the 'Thrilla' was very close up to...
If we're talking the post exile Ali,providing he's in top shape,the 1972-74 incarnation edges out a prime Holmes. The talented 16 - 0 version...
Yep ! Ali got back part,but not all,of his pre exile form in between his first and second fight with Frazier.
