my opinion is 5. sam langford lightweight to heavyweight had jack johnson on the deck also. 4. benny lenard greatest lightweight/jewish fighter of all time. 3. muhammad ali 2. henry armstrong 1.sugar ray robinson best welterweight of all and 5 time chamo. willie pep misses out only just.
i agree with you thats why hes on number 3 in my list. henry cooper floored him in london and angelo dundee sliced his glove with a scalpel to earn more time to get new gloves if he had not done that most probably henry cooper wouldve gone on to fight liston.
the official time is 4 mins 39 secs.he got up and his legs were jelly watch dundee smacking some life into his legs ali was out you ask most fans theyll admitt it.i never said a lot of fights were questionable but the split decision over norton was a bit suspicious too.
sweet pea the time they went all the way back to the changing rooms right at the back of the old building and came back 4 minutes had passed and they could not find any gloves so angelo said its alright well use the ones we got you gotta give dundee credit for having the savvy to do thet he saved ali. look up the wilkpedia about that night and it states over 4 minutes went by thats a lifetime for a top athlete to recoverr hell dundee even says over 3 mins went by.
sweet pea im educating yo man check it out for yourself but thats what happened the officials went to the back of the arena and couldnt find spare gloves ask any1 who knows about this pal i know my stuff im a ex pro featherweight and a historian of the boxing game http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=23518&cat=boxer thats my pro record link above.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhh? wtf you think ..........to cut a fighters swelling ,are you a 5 year old kid or what? all corners have scalpels.
