    They did not contradict each other. They all estimated the time, so it would not line up exactly.

    Angelo remember one detail wrong does not negate what he knows, and how would the General Secretary knwo better thna him, anyway?

    We’re talking about a difference of seconds to minutes here, they’re not even close.
    Because he was at the fight, that was in Britain, as the General Secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control. Hence they contradict it each other. So how about we use the video evidence.

    No, we aren't. They all estimate it as being about 40 seconds to a minute.

    Dundee was at the fight, too, so...

    Henry cooper estimated two and a half minutes.
    so they contradicted each other.

    Not to mention his life and death struggles with much smaller men throughout his career. Kind of silences the "but Ali more skilled though despite size difference" narrative. He was bigger than most of the guys he fought but had his struggles against smaller men. Was he a great? Yeah of course. He beat many great fighters fair and square, rose from the canvas in many of those instances... But was he unbeatable h2h? No way.

    Look, I am going to let you go. For decades, there was no question about what happened, and the wrong doing was admitted by the man who did it. Then we entered an agew where footage can be doctored, and all of a sudden the apologists were had their excuse. Good day to you. The confession stands.

    Muhammad Ali H2H is not above Ken Norton, therefore not GOAT; far from it :)
