    I think looking back it would have been humiliating but at the time Cooper was the best opponent Ali faced.

    Yeah but Clay had a lot of hype behind him. It would've been like Thurman losing to Orlando Lora.

    there's some truth to that I just don't think it would be "humiliating". Not in the way Stevens loss to Boone was.

    Nah, not quite. Green got in a good shot but it was never like "OMG, Kessler might lose! :yikes"

    I remember thinking Kessler looked pretty bad when he got up but my memory might betray me

    Joey Abell kd'd Kubrat Pulev in a stay busy fight while he was waiting for Wlad. If that was a ko instead of a kd, it would have not only been epically humiliating, but cost him what, considering his lack of subsequent activity, looks like it will be his only title shot.

    Kell Brook v Carson Jones 1. Big fan of Brook but even I have to admit he was well off his game in the first fight.

    I thought Froch was done. It looked like they turned off his switch. Heavy as **** KD.

    Anyway, Collazo vs Thurman.
