Mine was the second one. Both men were fully on for this bout. Norton was for all three. Ali was at his seventies best for the Inglewood 1973...
Palomino of '76 v Honeyghan of '86 ? I say Carlos outboxes Lloyd in a thriller. Honeyghan was pretty awesome that night in Atlantic City...
Very good thread as usual,Bokaj.
Very interesting insight :good Ali's seventies best was circa 1972-74. It's possible that he would have been at that very same level during...
Palomino wins. Probably on points. Blocker was good but Carlos was a class above him.
Even the Ali of 1970-75 would have stopped Leon before the halfway mark.
Frazier put on the performance of his life. Constantly pressurising Ali while soaking up tremendous punishment. Joe took more solid blows to the...
I definitely feel Whitaker won that one. I agree that Chavez' already considerable legacy would have been enhanced

Bit strong calling the 1977 version of Ali 'zombie' Okay,he was n't the fighter that he was three years earlier when he beat George Foreman,but...
Agreed. This was Hagler at his most skillful.
