    Because Tyson was leaving him. I was alive back then and old enough to know Tyson wasn't happy with King.

    I can solve that for you: A particularly over zealous mod who has let the little power he has go to his head banned everyone and now all you get is weird fantasy matchup posts. Its why I rarely post here.

    The punch/KD was legit, & Walcott was visibly slightly dazed as he sat up. I think he made the decision to retire right there.

    :risas3::risas3::risas3:

    I hate to risk slandering the dead, but perhaps it was a homosexual encounter & he was too ashamed to "out" himself, even under those circumstances.

    I've never heard speculation that he was murdered, but it remains unknown why he had snuck out of his camp in the early morning hours & was on that road.

    I think his problem wasn't The Chin as much as it was The Temple - Delvalle landed a short little left, w/o full leverage, on the same sweet spot that Glen Johnson later caught him, & even then RJ did a quick little chicken dance before falling.

    I believe Ali getting Parkisons was random but that sounds exactly like the sort of thing the CIA would do to a popular dissident at that time.

    I heard from an Indonesian boxing historian named Finon Manullang that there was a legendary triple champion back then in Surabaya,I tried to find his record in boxrec and found an anomaly.

    There was two boxers by the name of Freddie Ramschie,and from reports I've read he trained around the 60s or so,or were both of them the same Ramschie? We'll never know.

    Yeah, I probably agree with that - we definitely agree that once down, Jersey Joe voluntarily signed off. Walcott couldn’t be blamed for suffering literal PTSD after the first fight.

    Liston. Everything about him seemed a mystery. His age, exactly how he died. what really happened in the two fights against Ali.
