Which one of these slick spoilers do you rate higher? Do you give Ali more credit for his "win" over Young considering how overweight and overconfident he was, or Louis for his 2x wins over Godoy, one being questionable, the other a destruction? Do you rate Young higher than the underrated Godoy?
Young is to my mind the better fighter. Godoy was a fine fighter but his record dose rather rest on his close loss against Louis using rather dubious tactics.
Godoy repeatedly crouched so low that his elbows litteraly touched the canvas to avoid Louis's punches. If the judges wanted to give Louis the win that is not unfair.
In his dressing room. Champion Louis, who had defended his title for the ninth time in 30 months, admitted that it was the "most worstest fight" he ever fought. But what griped him more than his own shortcomings were his opponent's antics. "He's jes' a clown," he muttered. "I ain't never had no man kiss me before like Go doy did. I thought he was in there to fight me, not to play a love scene."
