    Shavers nailed Ali with right hands again and again. Ali's body shook and shook. It was hard to watch.

    Ali had the greatest chin in the history of sport. The amount of damage he took was ****ing staggering. Beyond anything ANY other fighter has ever taken.


    I have always like Larry Holmes, if only in principle. Seems like he could be a grating person to know, but he is always honest and he has many memorable insights and comments

    Plus, nothing beats a Larry Holmes drop kick


    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Ali may have been somewhat responsible for the decline of boxing. Many parents were probably reluctant to let their kid box after seeing and icon like Ali in the state he's in.

    Ali was pushed into fight Holmes. Holmes knew Ali was not well but he did all he could to harm him during the fight. I am glad Tyson kicked Holmes arse!

    I don't particularly like Larry, but I respect him.

    Holmes was responsible. Watch the fight.
