    I think Dunn had an eliminator before Ali against a German (Eckhard Dagge?) who said he wouldn't fight Ali even if he had bested Dunn given his inexperience.
    Dunn was ****, Coopman was ****, Lubbers was ****. Ali should have given his purse to the poor after those 'jokes'; but such is the way with hypothetical bleeding hearts (In name only)

    I think Eckhard Dagge was a middleweight. I decent prospect at one time.

    Was the April 1976 Bernd August EBU title fight an eliminator of sorts? I could see Ali squeezing a few extra bucks out of an easy fight be going up against the "Champion of Europe".
