    I will post whenever i want to and particularly to correct you,as i just have!

    Willimas? Lol



    The ' is optional for you. And you are free to use periods in the middle of sentences. Don't forget to captailize I. 3 errors. But who is counting?

      George who is the same age as Tubby Lar was always fighting better fighters and higher ranked during their few years of overlap

      The public was never interested in Foreman vs Tubby Lar, another reason the fight was never made sorta like U vs a turnip. Noone want to see a rutabaga vs a turnip...NOONE!!!
      This has been a complete and utter landslide in favour of Ali and against Holmes and the fool who made the thread.


      Can we look forward to more of the same?
      What's next?


      Why not Walcott over Louis?

      Walcott, [according to Z ,]was robbed against Louis.
      Gave Marciano a tougher fight than Louis did.
      Beat Charles twice who beat Louis.

      = Walcott is the greater fighter!
      I offer this suggestion for a thread to Dr Duck .
      We need more thoughtful and per****acious assessment of these men,and he is the very man to provide it!
      His erudite and insightful asides are always rewarding and justify in depth study.

          What? You are mistaken about Williams being ranked and I showed you. Man up. You also failed to acknowledge that Bey was ranked #3 when Holmes foght him that year.

          Did you see the Young vs. Ali fight? And the 3rd Noton fight? Who do you think won and if Holmes was in 1977 or 1978 vs. Ali, who do you think wins?

          You are picking and choosing spots to try and lower Ali's standing, but you're not doing the same for Holmes. Did you see the Williams and Witherspoon fights? Those guy had a combined total of 31fights between them and lost close decisions and never given rematches. Add Bey in there and you have 3 fighters with a total of 45. Not exactly a murderer's row of experience. Why are you not touching on that?

            - - U coughing up snails again.

            I never rated Lar, but clearly Ali had no business in the ring for their fight and should've retired after turning down the $10mil 50/50 split for the immediate Foreman rematch only to go to Podunk Ohio and beat up and embarrassed by Chuck Wepner for peanuts whom 3 fight novice Foreman dispatched in a few rounds.

              There was no offer for an immediate rematch. Stop making things up.

                No, there was no offer for an immediate rematch who would have paid to see it?
                Wepner beat up Ali?
                Ali won
                10 rounds on 1 card
                11 rounds on 1 card
                12 rounds on 1 card
                Christ he is a Moron isn't he!

                  Are you labouring under the delusion that I give a **** about your opinion? Ali got $1/6 million for that workout against Wepner.

                    Yes I did, and Wherspoon never looked better. Bey was ranked #3 by ring magazine and Williams was ranked by ring magazine ( #8 ) as well. You see, I answer your questions. Holmes was an older fighter fighting younger men.

                    Now will you stop switching the record? I ask YOU again, did you see the Young vs. Ali fight? And the 3rd Noton fight? Who do you think won them and if Holmes was in 1977 or 1978 vs. Ali, who do you think wins?

                      You do know May comes before December,don't you?lol

                      Williams got the fight with Holmes because he was a ranked no8 by the IBF. But he wasn't ranked by The Ring!
