In the 3rd Holyfield vs. Bowe fight it looked like Bowe's corner used salts on him after he got dropped by Holyfield... they probably didn't but I...
Was Ali saved by the bell? If Ali hadn't got the extra few seconds could he have won? I think Ali would have won regardless but Cooper sure...
Angelo Dundee said that the glove had a little rip in it but he made it much worse... so it would give Ali a little more rest between rounds.
Ali vs. Frazier III Holmes vs. Norton I'll add... Holyfield vs. Qawi I Holyfield vs. Bowe II Holyfield vs. Foreman Mosley vs. DeLaHoya...
Ray Mercer and Tommy Morrison were both WBO HW Champs but never fought for one of the 3 major belts (IBF, WBA, or WBC). Razor Ruddock never...
I thought we were talking about guys who became clearly the best HW in the World at some point. You can make a case for Norton, but it was short...
Prior to his fight with Holmes he was saying how he was going to become the first 4x HW Champ!

Ali and Holmes
Ali won the HW World Title in 1964. Was stripped of the WBA's recognition for fighting an immediate rematch with Liston instead of the next person...
As for Norton... Yes, for about a minute he was viewed by many as the best HW in the World. In September of 1976 most people who were not...

Jimmy Ellis? Really? Jeffries, Johnson, Dempsey, Baer, Louis, Marciano, Liston, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Tyson, Bowe, Lewis
I agree with some of this but Robinson really didn't start losing many until many years into his career. Thru his first 132 pro fights (1940-1951)...
He might beat Jake Lamotta but not Sugar Ray Robinson. There is nothing in PBFs game that implies he was better than Robinson.
