    June 2, 1984 - Larry Holmes (IBF), Tim Witherspoon (WBC), and Gerrie Coetzee (WBA)

    I guess it would be Larry though.

    On cold, rainy mornings, it feels like it must have been Tom Cribb.

    Actually, it was Joe Louis.

    it was foreman in '74. he was also champion when it was finally legal for me to drink. that's unbelievable.

    Indeed that is crazy

    Imagine if Ali never returned from exile, and Foreman held on to the title from 73-94


    He would have been known as "Daddy" to us all.
