Who was the Heavyweight Champ when you were born?

Ali 1

 

Patterson - appropriate, he’s a favorite

 

Well the champ was Larry Holmes then. It’s Oleksandr Usyk now. I’d say we’ve come a long way.

 

Jersey Joe Walcott

 

Bob Fitzsimmons. What a time it was....

 

Never in a million years would I have figured that judging by your name

 

I had the same thought.

 

George Foreman (the first time).

 

Same here. I think I’m saved from the Ernie Terrell ‘era’ by almost a year.

 

Larry Holmes, apparently.
Certainly a man I can respect

 

We're the kid's from 69

 

Rocky Marciano.
He’d just beat Walcott to win the title a month earlier

 

Born on January 5, 1974; the champion was George Foreman. But at the end of the year in which "The Rumble in the Jungle" took place, Muhammad Ali was the champion.

 

Joe Louis.

 

Hey bro, you're one of my favorite posters on this forum. Cheers bud.
