What are your thoughts on him and his boxing knowledge?

He's pretty hit or miss.

-Ali was at his peak/prime in the 1st Frazier fight Cox is full of ****.

-Joe Louis knocks out prime Ali Okay, maybe.....Maybe Ali knocks out prime Louis.

-Joe Louis knocks out Jack Dempsey Again maybe.

-Mike Tyson knocks out Rocky Marcianio early if they would of fought. Certainly possible, though Marciano can certainly punch too.

-Lennox Lewis is a top 10 ATG Heavyweight Debatable, but not out of the mainstream view.

-Rocky Marciano is NOT a top 10 ATG Heavyweight Oh PLEASE.....this one is an even bigger crock of **** than the "Ali was prime for Frazier".

-Joe Frazier is NOT a top 10 ATG Heavyweight Debatable, most have him around number 10.

-Ranks Rid**** Bowe higher on a HW ATG list than Evander Holyfield And Bowe did exactly what to earn his way on to any ATG list?

So yeah, mixed bag with Cox. His article on a Louis - Ali matchup is well thought out and an interesting read but some of his views in general I start wondering what planet he's on.
