    What was Quarry's excuse in 1970? Quarry would easily hold a title today, and Ali made him look like a sparring partner in both fights.

    He deserves his accolades, to put it mildly.

    what about his gut check against ringo the brawling pampas bull.....bonavena was no easy way to reintroduce yourself to the fistic roulette wheel, not a classic perofrmance maybe, but big bollocks as ever!!

    Ali kinda had to break the rules by hovering over Ringo in the 15th to knock him back down again.

    Looked like Dempsey in the "Long Count".

    Ha. You forgot Chuck Wepner. A ring side Stallone credits Wepner's guts for the inspiration of the movie Rocky.
