Correct this text Former Boxers Could Lick Ali CHICAGO (UP!)-In their prime, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey and Rocky Marciano could have whipped Muhammad Ali, says former heavyweight champion Max Schmeling, Schmeling, who won the title in 1930 by defeating Jack Sharkey and held it until Sharkey won it back two years later, said he thinks Ali is a fine fighter but some of the earlier champions were better. Louis, Dempsey and Marciano in their prime could have beat this Muhammad Ali, Schmeling said. "1 admire the man, but I believe that Ali will not fight George Foreman again because Foreman will win. Asked about Alts controversial victory over Ken Norton, Schmeling said it could not have been fixed. There was too much money at stake, said. It was not a fake, but bad judges," The German boxer, in fine form at 71, was in Chicago Saturday to give awards to the best Chicago area soccer player and team. At an airport news conference Friday, Sehmeling challenged a woman reporter to hit him in the stomach. She did and he laughed. I weigh only 210 pounds, Sehmeling said. When I was in camp, 1 weighed 197.1 run about 6 miles a day and watch what I eat and drink. Schmelings best-remem-bered fight was a title bout with Louis June 22, 1938, in New York when the Brown Bomber demolished him in the first round.
Why do you think something has to be wrong with it? Point of interest that I am sharing with the forum.
