I thought I was the pansy of boxrec. So now I lost my honorary title and it moved all the way to London, the world's pansy-capital. I guess it's gone then.

Interesting how fast ignoring an idiot gets you off his radar screen.

Ali

Ali's perforamances post-Foreman should not be held against him because he was past his prime. Young was not the only one to make a declining Ali look bad. Ali was beaten by Spinks and some feel Norton beat him in their third fight.

It shows you how good Ali really was when the haters can

(1) only picks out fights at the end of his career to highlight any serious defects or

(2) make up ridiculous stories that his greatest wins were somehow manufactured or bought

Look at it the other way, Ali didnt exactly make Young look good... Young was too negative, thats why he lost... for a fading fighter Ali's record post Foreman is hardly bad... he beat Lyle, Bugner, Frazier, Norton, Young and Shavers and lastly Spinks... :box: :box: :box:

Probably a better resume in that period than just about any other HW in history. And he was well past his prime!!

Yeah, but don't forget, according to Granberry, Young and Shavers were "under instruction" to lose.

Tell us about Ali's last two permances pre-Liston.

He was staggered by Doug Jones ' right hand 15 seconds into their fight. He showed no punching power against Jones, who was a head shorter and 25 pounds lighter than Ali. He needed the officials to give him his gift "decision" in a fight that he lost badly---to an overweight lightheavyweight.

Then Ali had his nose bloodied by 185 1/2 lb Henry Cooper 15 seconds into their fight. Cooper knocked Ali into Queer Street with his left hook at the end of round four. And our hewro got extra time between rounds immediately after he was knocked down.

Ali showed in these last two fights before fighting Liston that he

had no defense

was very hittable by Doug Jones and Henry Cooper

was very hurtable (staggered by Jones and knocked down by 185 1/2 lb Cooper)

and had no punching power against two fighters both 25 pounds lighter than he was.

And then in his next fight he beats Liston?

No thank you.
