Re: Did Zora Folley take a fall?
As you know, both Foley and Bonavena went down at the hands of what you have called the feather fisted Ali. Along with some other pretty delicate flowers along the way. Listonx2,Frazier,Pattersonx2,Cooperx2,Banks,Lewis,Besmanoff,Foreman,Foster, That's some pretty impressive feather dusting. Some fol...

Re: The LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT game: *NOW OPEN*
Seriously? not even worth getting involved in if no one has heard of Galindez, Conteh or Johnson.
All totally missing from lists. All best of best. Might want to revamp some lists.

At that point, Ernie was the best, including Joe. He was just too tall for Joe.

Re: monzon vs hagler
Monzon was the greatest of all Middleweights - though this is not a popular view with some Americans Hagler was great no doubt at all, but was seriously troubled by Duran, Hearns, both Welters, and beaten by Monroe and Leonard. Once mature, Monzon was never genuinely troubled by anybody he faced, t...

Re: Muhammad Ali vs Ken Norton I: 40 Years Later
It's a worn out story. Fact: Muhammad almost beat Kenny even with a Broken Jaw and then came back to win the other two fights. Norton lost two out of three, and he almost got beat the first time despite breaking Ali's jaw. Guy made a name on a lucky punch. He never got that lucky again unless you co...

Re: Ali vs Norton: Did Norton won all three fights?
This subject gets real old real fast. You could say that all three fights were very closely fought and the judges just picked someone to call a winner. There's always enough B.S. and bias when it comes to close fights. The Bias is especially wacked with an Ali or a Whitaker fight You either loved th...

Re: Gene Tunney Appreciation Society-Members Wanted Please....!
Hey he beat Greb.
According to some at this site, that's how the top five are defined.
Beat Greb, and your ticket is stamped, just step to the front.

If it was around or after the time Foreman fought Holyfield, I think Foreman wins.

Re: Riddick Bowe vs Joe Louis
Bowe at his best might well be the best HW champ of all time. However his prime could probably be considered to be a bout 6 months in duration. Peak vs Peak he may well beat anyone including Louis. However outside of that that thin amount of time, I would agree with everyone here. With such a short ...

Re: Riddick Bowe vs Joe Louis
I'm going to surprise folks and pick Bowe. Vastly underated at his best. Best day vs Best day, Bowe wins this. I know the Louis fans are going to be aghast, but the facts are going to support a Bowe win here. It's almost a crime against nature to go against Louis on this blog, but a dose of reality ...

Re: Prime Aaron Pryor vs. Prime Meldrick Taylor
After taking a look at some fight films from both of these guys, I'd say Taylor would not be drawn into a foolish fight with Aaron, and win a close but certain UD. He would have all the answers for what Aaron would bring.

Re: Mike McCallum vs. the big four
True, size and age might make the difference but Roberto did well against both Barkley and Hagler. I like his chances, but you've got a good point. There is a good size difference.

Re: Mike McCallum vs. the big four
Leonard outsmarts him and comes out with a controversial but earned UD.
Hagler out toughs him and barely comes out with a UD....could go either way
Hearns He KO's Tommy with a body shot.
Duran slips by with a SD matching him for toughness and outspeeding him.
This is all prime vs prime

Re: tyson vs ali
exactly.....Ali would be kissin the canvas at least twice in every round. At least until the referee stops it in the 3rd round because of the obvious mismatch. Tyson wasclearly unstoppable in his prime. He would beat any two HW's in the same night...ANY two.

He beat guys like Tony Tucker, Kirk Johnson and Andrew Golata, no slouches and all bigger than Sonny.
