If you combined Post and pre-exile Ali, him. Damn near impossible to stop, damn near impossible to out point.
maybe not invincible but the frazier that fought ali the first time would have worn down all but the very best fighters in their very best form.. i read a quote that said frazier didnt care if ali had brought a gun, he was in there to do a job. Another quote i like about frazier is that not only was he in the fight of the century, he won it too.... says it all really...
Charles would be my pick too but I also think Archie Moore, Bob Fitzsimmons and Sam Langford would get the job done. Mickey Walker would have a shot, also he wouldn´t be favourite.
Nah, I´m a big Hopkins fan but he wasn´t unbeatable. Monzon would be favourite against him - I´d love to see this fight - Hagler has a good shot - but Hopkins would be favourite, better outside game, footwork and more crafty - and Robinson has a good shot as well. Than there are fighters like Cerdan or Giardello who have a good shot despite beeing not as great.
Good call. I don´t think he´s invincible but I can´t think of a flyweight who´d beat him but then flyweight isn´t really my speciality.
Against what opposition? You could say the same about Michael Moorer or Michael Spinks at lhw. But no. Those are beatable. very beatable in fact.
Who said anything about stopping, I was talking about beating. And he was far from invincible. Blasting out average, mediocre opposition and looking good does not mean you stand a chance against real greats.
Yeah, right because I bring up valid criticism and think he wouldn´t beat every hw who ever lived I´ma a hater ... damned, this board is ****ed up.
