you got it right about Ali -v- Louis. Both were great punchers, but Ali
absorbed punishment better. It is sad that there would have to be a loser from
these two great fighters, however, for mine, Ali wins on points. He got up when
knocked down (and at some stage he would have tasted the canvass against Louis);
he scored points even when off balance; his punches hurt even when he was going
backwards; and his evasive skills were freakish and only the best managed to hit
him. Add the best jab in the business, and the most reliable chin that ever
survived bombs like Henry's Hammer and Joe's left hook, and there you have it
.......... the greatest of all time ! At least in my opinion anyway. By the
way - this is a terrific site. |

let you know. That is a very good fight.|

thanks again to Evren for running the tournament. It was a long hard road from
beginning to end. You know, my spell check kept saying I was spelling Muhammad
wrong, but I just ignored it. That means everything I have ever written, in
posts and articles, is wrong as I never bothered to check it. Thanks Evren.|

tournament was interesting, as it allowed for comparisons between fighters from
different eras, and gave us a chance to appreciate what made each of them
remarkable. Again, I don't think the more classic guys, except Louis, received
their full due, but it is all fun and opinion anyway. Particular to Jerry, who
fight 3 of the Final Four, it again gives him credit. He took rounds from
Frazier in their two matches and outboxed him before succumbing to Joe's power
and steam. Had Jerry fought Foreman in '73 or '74, some think he might have made
history. In this tournament I think Jerry just made the Sweet 16, showing that
the difference between some of these guys is pretty slim. I'm glad there's a
site like this, with these kinds of discussions. Fun stuff. |
