1980 jan ring magazine ali claims cleveland cleveland williams wouldve knocked him out

Well after your last few posts allow me to take back my previous kind words in that other thread.

I'll leave you to your lusting after clicks and threatening people on, of all things, the ****ing internet!!!!

Well unless your ears are boxed but i don't think even he would go to the trouble of a channel!!!!!

 

I always felt bad for Cleveland Big Cat Williams leading up to the title bout with Muhammad Ali scheduled for Nov 14 1966. The Big Cat was taking his time the night of the fight leaving his dressing room. Hugh Benbow, Williams manager told Cleve, You Better Get Your (Expletive ) out there, or else. Poor Williams, he said he did not feel ready.

 

Seriously? Stop embarrassing yourself kid. I like you and think you have the tools to be a real asset to the forum, if you grow up a little bit.

 

Lyle? Shavers?

 

Are there any other fighters that you enjoyed watching that you want to post about or is it only about The Big Cat? Not taking anything away from Williams but at that point in time, the 1960's, there was a lot of talent in the heavyweight division. Do you like fighters from the smaller weight classes?

 

I actually rate all of them very similarly. Beating any of them is good for your resume because they were all dangerous world class fighters. But they were all flawed and fell short of the best fighters in the division throughout their respective careers. No shame in that though because they all were entertaining fighters who gave their all.
I was having a crack at the op because of his childish attitude about Williams and towards other good posters.

 

Fair enough.

 

Love that avatar, Griff.

Really sorry to hear about both guys. Condolences from the UK even though the pair of them rinsed us time and again.

 

Thanks Eddie. You put nationalism aside at times like this. It’s not Australia’s loss it’s the cricket worlds loss. Both men loved England and made a contribution to crickets betterment there and around the world. Two massive losses.

 

Cool, good fighters.

 

Against my usual tendencies i am going to let this one slide through to the keeper - lets call him Rod Marsh. You have a good day young fella.

 

Never thought I’d say this but Where is choklab when ya need him?
