I certainly agree that Ali was better in the period you mention (September 1973-October 1974) than he was in March 1971. Just as...
He would have had plenty of losses
How would Spinks have done against the following ? Muhammad Ali 1974 Joe Frazier 1971 George Foreman 1974 Ken Norton 1976 Larry Holmes 1979...
Both would have been very hard to beat on that night.

I totally agree that Ali-Young and Ali-Norton III are not the outrageous robberies as often portrayed. I see Norton as the winner in his fight...
I fully agree with this assessment. In '96,Mercer would have rode out the massive early storm and capitalised on Tyson's frustration after the...
