were all scoring punches. Someone said that Ali didn't throw a lot of
combinations. Mostly untrue. As Cassius Clay his combinations were blinding. But
as age crept on he threw fewer because throwing combinations eats up a lot of
energy. He took to throwing combinations at the end of rounds to impress judges,
and he conserved energy doing that (as per Foreman). Also, in the heat of his
last fight with Frazier, it was too damn hot to throw combinations. Who had the
energy ? So Ali threw lead rights (scoring 'arm' punches), and also jabs and
right crosses. He didn't need fancy combinations (and it was too hot and energy
sapping, anyway). RS wrote that Ali won that fight "after Joe's left eye
betrayed him." Not so. Ali's lead rights and right crosses 'betrayed' Joe's left
eye. There was nothing 'mickey mouse' about Ali, as someone wrote. Evan B -
another very good 'arm' puncher was Australia's triple world champion Jeff
Fenech. He threw 'arm' punches often and from all angles. Fenech mauled
opponents into submission. Problem was, at the end of his career, he never had
Ali's chin. Cheers. |

top 7 heavies for the period 1960 to 1980 are:1. Ali2. Holmes3.
Foreman4. Frazier5. Liston6. Patterson7. EllisI couldn't
leave Patterson out, despite his smallness. He was the youngest heavyweight
champion to that time, and he was also the first Olympic gold medalist (he won
as a middleweight) to go on and win a world heavyweight title. |

the only "phantom" punch in the heavyweight history !In Ali'-Folley all the
knockdown were mysterious... After the knockout combination Folley looked in
coma and I can't see a powerful punch ! Marciano-Walcott 2 is another example...
There are many others !|

BONAVENA VS QUARRY , FRAZIER VS LISTON, ELLIS VS LISTON, HEY THERES ONLY SO MANY
MATCHUPS THAT COULD BE MADE, THE REST IS FANTASY. KOO KOOGeorge Foreman
said when he sparred against Liston, Sonny was the only man he hadn't been able
to back up, but maybe George was a little starstruck and was subconsciously
holding back.Quarry and Bonavena was one match I think would have been
super entertaining. I mean, the result wouldn't be in question, but it'd be a
real crowd pleaser!|
|12/7/03 01:14:56 PM|Pete|Cleveland||pco@msn.com||||10|KENTIt's true
Patterson had back problems during the first fight. He was on the decline since
the first Liston fight and was no match for ALI 1. I don't know why they fought
a second time; a pay day for Ali and a possible opportunity for Patterson.
Johnson was way out of condition for this fight. To come into this with this
kind of attitude, shows him to be a non-contender. Klitschko may very well be on
his way. EVAN B.1. ALI2. FRAZIER3. HOLMES4. LISTON5.
