    Criticising Ali is ok, he was a pretty nasty feller sometimes in and out of the ring. He wasn't some kind of superman just an exceptionally talented boxer and a very tough man.

    Dont you know?? He was a superman. The man can walk on water, and cure cancer with his toe nails.

    He even cured him self of parkinsons, he just fakes it because he doesn't want people to know that he's that great. Its true.

    Then how can you be so certain he had an "iron chin"? :patsch:smoke

    Good point about the flash KD's. When he went down, he usually stayed there.

    Maybe his chin got better with age.

    Is that what I said? I was merely making a point.

    Now **** off Bill, I'm sure a Holmes thread is calling.

    Rahman threw the hardest punch of his life in that one... it was hardly a light breeze.

    Pretty sure i remember Lewis standing over decimated Tyson to, oozing blood all over the canvas. I wanna thank Mr Lewis for the opportunity to make this money, i'd like to polish Mr Lewis in the hope for the opportunity for more money in a rematch, Mr Lewis is a great man and champ, Mr Lewis was the better man. My last ditch tactical weapon was nullified because he was simply too tall. That ears a hell of a long way up.

    If ever a post shows an unrealistic and overexaggerated opinion its this one. "Lewis require a light breeze to knock him to the canvas". Rahman and McCall's right hands were no breezes, and anyone who thinks otherwise needs help.

    Next you will be telling us Ali got up from Frazier's left hook during the closing stages of the 15 round, only because it was a breeze.

    Lewis' chin was rather solid outside his two knockout defeats.

    If i was a Tyson fanatic i'd be very decent in my criticism of others, Tyson is very likely the most easy to attack Heavyweight champ to ever lace a glove.

    Well lets go Louis forward. I'll also add the proviso "great". Even Liston's safe.
