_(Prime Sonny Liston fresh after his knockout win over Floyd Patterson, on Sept 26 1962, sees Prime George Foreman on television talking about his quick knockout of Ken Norton, in 2 rounds. Sonny, tells his Manager Jack Nilon, Get Me A Fight With That Flag Waving Kid. Liston then changes the channel to tune into his favorite program, The Beverly Hillbillies. The next day negotiations are under way, the two are scheduled for Oct 30 1974, in Madison Square Garden. Foreman tells his manager D. Sadler, I Am Not Afraid Of Sonny, It Took Him Twelve Rounds To Defeat Eddie Machen, I will Give Liston A Beating Within 5 Rounds. These comments worry his trainer Archie Moore, because he fears George may have stamina issues, and may be too overconfident. George has been instructed to do more roadwork. Meanwhile Sonny tells the press, I will Beat That Guy Like If He Was In My Yard At The Penitentiary. The fight begins with George coming out swinging, as he did with Joe King Roman, Liston ducks and weaves, stabbing his face with a pole like left jab, Foreman then tries to match with his pawing left jab. Both fighters begin to fight very cautious, looking for an opening on the other. Moore tells his fighter, Pace Yourself, Do Not Try To Knockout This Guy, He Does Not Scare Easy. In round 5, Liston wobbles back after taking a crushing right hand from George, and covers up in the corner, through the whole round, Foreman angered, cannot pull him away from the ropes, he then appears gassed, with his mouth wide open. Liston comes out, the fresher of the two, establishing his jab on the tired George's face, causing swelling around the right eye. Trainer Willie Reddish, tells Liston, He Is Dead Tired, He Is Yours For The Taking. Sonny then pursues Foreman, punching him and pushing him all over the ring. In round 8, Foreman swarms all over Liston with his last gasp, strikes Sonny on the nose, it appears to be the same injury that Cleveland Big Cat had inflicted on him, in their 1959 fight, as blood gushes from Sonny's nose. Liston then uncorks a thunderous right hand that just about decapitates George, he twists, and falls to the canvas taking the full count from referee, Arthur Mercante. Foreman tells the press, That Kid Can Sure Hit, But I Have Been Hit harder In The Streets Of St. Louis. Foreman states to the press, I Learned A Big Lesson, Not To Underestimate A Fighter Who Can Go The Distance With Another.)

_(O dear god, what a joy for me this fight would be. I would pay big money to see Joe Louis absolutley destroy Vitali Klitschko. Then see the look on Vitali's face afterwards as he weeps into his brothers arms. How many more years are we going to get this matchup continusely brought up? Well hell, we might as well get some enjoyement out of this mismatch eh? Gosh the funny part would be Vitali trying to stare down Louis prefight in the center of the ring and Louis staring right back into Vitalis eyes saying to himself "Chappie wanted me to work this guy for a few rounds...but he is over there coughing in the corner not lookin to well..and this clown is making goofy faces at me so what the hell I will just end things right away".
I cant imagine what Louis will do to Vitali when he does that girly paw with his jab then brings his left back into his hip leaving the whole left side of his face wide open. Louis will unleash a devastating right cross and Vitali won't know what hits him...Then he will follow up with a devastating 5 punch combination and TIMMMMBER!! Vitali is down and out! Vitali stumbles up falling aimlessley against the ropes looks at the Referee and says " YESS!! I JUST DEFEAT REAL CHAMPEEION!!" and the referee looks back at him and says "Ahh No, you Lost" and calls off the fight as Vitali is living in La La land.
Louis walks calmly back to his corner giving Chappie a pound and Chappie says to him "Bigger they are harder they fall eh chappie" and Joe smiles and says back to him "They all fall the same way Chappie. De go down and dont get up!"
Louis and Chappie then walk back to the dressing room as the Crowd Roars in Approval. Vitali Klitschko could be seen sulking in the corner, his arms around his brother Wladimir, Who had a tear coming down his right eye.
Louis KO 1 Vitali)

For laughs, this is probably my favourite post so far:

Are All World Champions Boxing Immortals? | Boxing News 24 Forum (boxingforum24.com) (post #5)

 

Undeniably the greatest post in ESB history. Serious contender for greatest post on the internet!

Still use this as inspiration to keep going when life gets to tough.

 

I almost did this exact same idea the other day.

This should be fun, especially as we have 14yrs worth.

The scorecard thread is full of them, Flea's articles and Zack's stuff is always great as well.

 

Perry s not been around for a while now. You'd think that Trump would have time to post a little surely

"The winner would be Andrew Golota... Who would be yelling from ringside in Polish that ain't quitting! I'll show you real quitting! Y'all in trouble I'm going out quit all y'all!
Liston and Douglas would share a cab just to get out of town."

Well it's the case!!!
