    The agenda could also be in the other direction.

    If Ali or Holyfield are down in round 13, their power probably won't bail them out!

    For the record, I am totally against the logic that giving one all time great a close fight, makes you a factor against every other all time great.

    If it did, then it would be reflected in those fighters records, against the other contenders of their eras.

    It wouldn't take an all time great in the other corner, for them to show this ability.

    Louis screwed up against Conn.

    Tyson screwed up against Douglas.

    Holyfield screwed up against Mooreer.

    Lewis screwed up against Ramhan.

    Joshua screwed up against Ruiz.

    Why did they all screw up?

    Because the other guy was world class, and he was fighting back!

    Ain't it the truth, no denial here or shoes were too big, just plain old reality.

    Louis didn't screw up against Conn.
