The Men Who Beat Muhammad Ali

Post by HomicideHenry »

Willy Moran; the only man known to have ever kayoed Ali as an amateur

Jimmy Ellis was 1-1-0 against Ali in the amateurs winning a decision in their second bout

Kent Green (of Chicago) won a decision over Ali*

Amos Johnson (southpaw) won a decision over Ali

*Ironically in 1979, when Ali was looking for opponents for a time, it was talked about of having Kent Green fight Ali for the heavyweight title, despite him not having fought in years

Was Amos Johnson a southpaw??

From what I have seen on tape and read about him, he was orthodox ?!

Chicagoan Kent Green was always introduced at ringside at The Chicago Golden Gloves in the seventies.
He was a bit of a celeb.
They always used to say he kod Ali though.
At least thats how I remember it. Been a long time.
