    I listened to them, it was a good and fun time and really brought things to life alot more; at least for me.

    Jeffries was robbed against Marciano later in the tournament. A TKO? Jeffries doesnt have TKOs. This was for the all time greatest, it should have been a proper fight to the finish, not some corrupt hybrid rule 15 rounder. Jeffries was only warming up and had no injuries at all compared to what he consistently overcame during the course of his career. He was robbed i tell you.

    This decision was one of the biggest disgraces in the history of boxing. Who was the ref anyway?

    And as for Marciano, how in the world does he justify winning the title and defending it against a guy who was already outclassed by the great Jim Jeffries.

    At the time this was done....the "second half of Ali's career" had not occurred, and
    the Rock had only been retired for 10-12 years or so.

    Also at this Time Marciano and Dempsey were very highly rated, for someone my age, 50, it is hard to take people downgrading these two when I grew up thinking of them as gods.

    I think that the computer may have changed its results, if it was known just how Good Alis unproven chin was!

    Perhaps, but Ali was outbox by The boilermaker in that tourment. So who knows??

    And re listen to Marciano Dempsey, Dempsey went down 5 times. I find that hard to belive Dempsey in his prime would be floor 5 times.
