a post mortem against Ellis in Australia.Frazier was a shot fighter at a
relatively young age. He probably had the briefest 'in prime' period than any
other boxer whose fans argue he is one of the elite. Of all the
champions, he fought fewer of the top contenders around, he fought far fewer
fights by comparison, and his winning percentage is down on theirs. This
comparison is against Frazier's champion peers, not just Ali. Thanks.|

Maybe Dundee said that to build interest or justify Ellis-Ali??? Exactly who
are these guys he knocked out in one round? Did he KO Jimmy Young in the first?
I never thought of Ellis as a power puncher---but instead more of a finesse
fighter. In any case, he was shot by 1975, when Frazier gave Ellis some thunder
down under in the battle of Austraillia. Go Joe!|

You cannot be serious ! I have a cool book whose title is:MUHAMMAD ALI'
(A FORMER BOXER)THE GLORY YEARS. In this book is written that Dundee said:"Jimmy
Ellis is the best one round-banger in the wordl". He knocked out in the very
first round the likes of Eddie Dembry, Tommy Sims and Johnny Persol in the years
1966-67...Cassius Marcellus Clay ain't a bum in comparison... I don't know ,
maybe Dundee was drunk when he said that ! Tonight I have seen Mike Tyson in an
Italian show on TV named "Festival di Sanremo" where he ha concesso an interview
to Paolo Bonolis ( a guy you all over there know since 1974, especially in
California) and even sang a song in Italian. He sang one of the most famous
Italian songs ever "Nel blu dipinto di blu" by Domenico Modugno. Actually he
sang wrongly "Nel blu dipunto di blu" but as we say in Roma "Sticazzi", it's not
important. On another canale there was "Rocky 1" ADRIANAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!
Oh boys what a night !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|

responding to this idle prattle put forth by the Ali worshippers. God bless you,
it must get tedious.Kent, case in point, one of the worshippers makes a
statement to you, "However, there would have more Ali v Frazier fights, whether
Frazier beat Quarry in that fight or not." How does the worshipper draw this
conclusion? Quarry was favored in that fight. He had wins going into that fight
over Shavers and Lyle. If Quarry beat Frazier, Ali was going to DUCK Quarry and
fight Frazier? I got the clear impression from the worshippers that only Frazier
DUCKED fighters. Now, I am told that Ali would ducked Quarry and fought ole
Joe.Then the worshipper goes on to doubt his own statement, by asking
you, "are you sure that it was an elimination fight for the title." I find that
typical of the worshippers, they make statements on how they "feel," and expect
others to accept these statements as fact. Feelings are not facts; unless you
are a worshipper.The worshipper goes on,"Frazier was a shot fighter at a
relatively young age, he probably had the briefest 'in prime' than any other
boxer whose fans argue that he is one of the elite." Kent, I will save you the
time and effort responding to this remark. The worshipper probably never heard
of the description of a "Philadelphia fighter." I will inform the worshipper of
such. "Philadelphia fighters," are notorious for being sluggers with great left
hooks. When they spar in the gym it is an all out war. Their primes are normally
shorter than those of fighters who are not from Philly. Philadelphia fighters
were normally considered at one time to be the most exciting fighters in the
world. Naturally there was a price to pay. They burn out sooner.Kent,
finally the worshipper says to you (not me mind you). "Of all the champions, he
(Frazier) he fought fewer of the top contenders around, he fought far fewer
fights by comparison, and winning percentage is down on theirs. This comparison
is against Frazier's champion peers, not just Ali." Let's see, the worshipper is
telling you that Patterson fought more contenders than Frazier, that Dempsey
fought more contenders than Frazier (even including lightheavyweight Georges
Carpentier). Lets look further, Tunney fought 2 contenders, Walcott fought 2,
