    Just a gulf in class, grit, and composure. Also, no A-side privilege mentality. Or is was his reaction reasonable, as it was an unintended, unjustified obstruction of the bout? Anyway:

    Ali didn't take a knee. Rumor has it he yelled to stop the fight but Dundee washed put his eyes.

    So, really, compared to the greatest of all times, Tank simply didn't have the advantage of a Dundee. It makes you really appreciate how hard Tank has had it in his career that he got this far without a great corner or anything. I feel like my children's children will be so much softer and won't understand how tough it was back in the beginning of the anthropocene.

    Tank HAS a Dundee. An anti-Dundee.
