I'd expect Walcott to take a close-ish decision, but wouldn't bet on it. Schmeling was very capable of boxing well and/or landing a fight-altering...

Wow... Now I see it! I was wrong all along... Ali didn't have skill or reflexes, he just had a physical advantage over his bum opponents... He had...
Its amazing someone as ******ed as you can string together a sentence... I stopped reading at "Ali had poor reflexes even prime". Noone believes...
Damn dog you know you're a ****** when you get shut down in the general!!! (Jab and Azzer excluded from the generalization of the general)
