Yeah I was in the middle of typing it up. If you barely touch anything like a "keyboard" it nullifies all your hard work, should be right on now, And I'm not getting paid for this LOL.
your about the only one, one guy attcked me everyday for doing these, this is some hard core stuff, Goodness, If I saw stuff like this, being a boxing fan of the times, would have loved someone going outta their way, and BOXING 24 SIDED WITH HIM! HE ATTACKS ME CALLS ME ALL SORT OF NAMES, YOU KNOW THE TYPE HIDE BEHIND THE WEB (WEB WORLD WINGNUTS) ALL I SAID WAS HIS MOMMA WAS TO UGLY TO GO IN THE FRONT (GO IN THE BACK) GUESS WHAT I GET BOOTED , AND THE GUY WHO DOES NOTHING FOR THIS SITE, AND ATTACKS YOU FOR NO DECENT REASON STAYS UNSCATHED, - AND THIS IS NOT THEY ONLY INSTANCE WHERE THIS HAS HAPPEND!
I believe I did about 30 differant heavyweights or so. 'Ten Count' records. (NOT EASY JUST FINDING THE RATINGS ALONE LOL) Meanwhile I have Henry Cooper at 8-3 (3 knockouts) vs current top tens, and Champions. When he would lose to guys like Patterson (they were not RANKED ) Floyd was on a comeback and no longer in the top ten.
The Norton-Young fight was not for the vacant title. It was an eliminator. After Norton won that robbery he was later awarded the title when the winner of Ali/Spinks wouldnt fight him and was stripped. Norton remains, to my knowledge, the only HW "champion" (I dont consider him one) to have never won a championship fight.
Tho he spent 9 months inactive after the Ali bout in late 65, Patterson was STILL a top 5 (or better) ranked contender when he put 'enry into a puddle at Wembley!
NOT BY RING MAGAZINE PATTERSON WAS NOT RANKED, Floyd was only ranked in Cooper's # 8 slot after he put 'enry into a puddle at Wembly. jowcol, however WBA HAD Patterson number # 9 and Cooper unranked.
I understand that but now they say it ON THE WEBSITE was for the WBC TITLE FIGHT, WE ALL KNOW DIFFERANT.
