    Greb vs Tunney I. I'd see the best in one of his best performances.

    Now here`s a big ****ing surprise.

    You have such a hardon for Ali that you would actually choose this 3 round amateur nonsense over any fight in boxing history ?... you`re a sad **** :-(

    Yeah I posted below it that I wanted to see Greb/Tunney II to see if Greb really did get robbed.

    2000 was an epic year of fights man. we had Barrera/Morales in the Spring, Oscar/Mosley in the summer and Tito/Vargas near the end :bbb

    I just picked that one because they are my two faves going toe to toe. They just have iron chins so no one really got dazed.

    I think Oscar got slightly dazed in the 12th round when they were exchanging punches.

    Maybe. I think he was more tired than anything. Ate them like a champ though. They hurt eachother in the 6 slightly as well.

    Just watched that 12 th round again and i was wrong neither one was dazed, one of my fav fights ever it was what we call a skillful war. i have it at 39 in my top 100 fights ever.

    :good The 12th was just ****ing awesome. Shane dominated the last 3 rounds so badly Oscar needed the KO and Shane knew it, and outhustled him anyways. Great stuff

    Yeah, great fight, I thought DLH had it in the bag halfway through the fight but he let Shane take over, I thought Mosely won without controversy myself, Oscar could have argued the matter if he won the last round as it was close enough but Mosely pulled it out.

    For the record, I thought DLH won the 2nd fight by a clearer margin than Mosely won the 1st.

    :good

    What drugs have you been smoking now ?

    Ali only had 2 fights in 1974, a 12 round UD over Frazier & the 8th round KO over Foreman.... but knowing you I`d be willing to bet a LOT that this was some sparring thing that Ali never looked his best... I don`t even need to research it to see if I`m right or not, you`re very predictable mate.
