Peak Zora Folley VS Peak Jimmy Ellis

[Scypion]

This seems like it would have been a good match up. What do people here think? Who wins?

Very good match, no doubt. Folley should win by decision but Ellis could catch him with that quick right hand and ko Zora. I don't see much chance of Ellis winning by decision .

This fight could go either way. I certainly could see Ellis winning by decision. He had very good boxing skills.

I have a bias because Jimmy Ellis is one of my favorites from the past, but I would have him just below Patterson on an all time list. I think that he was below Ali, Frazier, and Liston of 60's heavyweights, but was as good as anyone else during that decade.

Having said that, I think that he takes Folley, although Folley was pretty good.
