How do these heavyweight up and coming legend v top 10 contender fights compare, and which prospect gave the best performance in their respective bout? Tyson v Tillis, Muhammad Ali with Jones,Joe Frazier-Oscar Bonavena and George Foreman-Gregorio Peralta.
Very hard to tell. 4 close fights but i guess we can take Fraizer right away since he earned a split decison and was knocked down like twice in the first round. I really have no idea.... who do you think the greater fighter among Tillis, peralta or Jones or Bonavena? Personnally i don't know but i can tell you that most of these guys are proud members of the group of heavyweights who gets overrated due to the facts They fared very well against green fighters who would go on to become ATG's... Henry cooper is the leader of that group.
But why did he fare a lot better in the rematch? He might have gained the experience after the first cooper fight and made sure he doesn't get tagged again by anyone before his exile.
