    It would be possible to argue in favor of one or the other, with good arguments. Anyway ... Corbett favorite. Saad was a champion, Corbett is a legend. Until the 1950s, Corbett was considered one of the greatest ever.

    Back in the 1950s, how many had actually seen Corbett box - either in the flesh or on film?

    Just between me and you this fight has kept me as well as many others awake in the twilight hours of fantasy boxing this is the one and only fight no one not even this old boxing junkie is truly sure of, between these two ATG’s it could be a master class boxing match, a war? or even a glorified sparring match depending on how either approaches the fight.

    Terrell, Ellis, Spinks, Witherspoon, Berbick, Douglas, for example. Corbett could beat them: not necessarily, but he could.

    I think that a reappraisal of Corbett's legacy had been overdue for a long time, and unfortunately it has now gone much too far.

    No he wasn't, he was always one of the weaker champions.

    That said, not nearly as bad as some make him out to be.

    He was featured on top 20 all time heavyweight lists as late as the 00s.

    He certainly got mentioned as one of the greatest ever, as late as the 30s.

    You are including alphabet champions. IMO I don't see Corbett beating any of those guys on the night when they won their titles.Do you disagree?

    You're obsessed with Corbett.
