    As a note....I think I saw Sonny Liston on TV beat the "flip" out of Zech....back in the 60's. It was brutal.

    "Oh Magoo, you've done it again" :)
    I assume your tongue is firmly in your cheek with this thread.
    Liston laid Zech in a face down puddle in a matter of seconds!
    If memory serves correct August fought Richard Dunn as some kind of eliminator with the winner facing Ali in his 'bum of the month' run after Zaire. Dunn beat August and we saw that Ali should have been ashamed of himself for even taking a penny for fighting Dunn...and...before the Dunn fight, I think August said that even if he beat Dunn he wouldn't fight Ali because he didn't even remotely belong in Ali's class. Jeez, you could give me a free ringside seat with free beer and dogs for a Zech-August and I'd turn it down opting instead to open my frig and watch the leftovers turn green...

    I don't know. Free beer, hot dogs, a fight between to big dudes slugging away. And very likely a whole stadium to ourselves. Sounds like a treat !!

    I've got just the thing to top off the evening my friend. How about Jack Bodell vs Alfredo Evangelista ?
