    Ali-Liston II

    Like someone already said following Alis whole career through ESB would've been fairly insane

    Dempsey Wills would be the Manny Pac of the day I think so to speak.

    Near the end of that run, a lot of posters would about riot that Dempsey didnt fight his number 1 7 years later.

    Johnson Jeff would have been fun.

    Would loved to have seen post about the end of the "Evil" Jack Johnson's rein at the hands of Jess Willard. Would we think of Willard as this white savor, or some chump that was at the right place at the right time?

    Holmes would ripped the same way Bowe did for dropping his title into the trash when he dropped his belt to fight Marvis Frazier instead of Greg Page. He'd also get blasted for not taking the Witherspoon rematch and cherry picking a light heavyweight to get to 49-0.

    Lesser criticisms would be not fighting Thomas and never unifying.

    Clay-Cooper 1 would've brought out every single "glass mandible" and "chin checker" acolyte in General Forum for sure.

    "If a small, old, white guy can do that to Clay just imagine what someone who can actually punch like Liston or Cleveland Williams would do to that glass jaw":dead:deal

    Jack Johnson beating James J Jeffries would most certainly have sent the forum bat**** crazy, there are plenty of racists on ESB today imagine what it'd be like back then :rofl

    Imagine the countless threads on who the great white hope would be :lol:

    Ive been around boxing a long time and Ive never seen anything as impactful as the Tyson Douglas fight in the media. I agree the whole internet would have exploded. :lol:
