earnie shavesr could bang on for sure

deff ,and ali sure could take a punch watched the fight, not many boxers would have still been standing like ali was from shavesr shots both great heavyweight boxers. don't think iron mike would have beat ali , as shavers is supposed to be the hardest hitter of all the heavyweights , and he took the lot, think iron mike would have run out of steam or ali would ko him. but looking what it did to ali later on in life , a real shame

You are right Bird, there's not many of those 70s heavyweights who don't speak with a slurring voice. They've all suffered some form of brain injury. Victims of their own bravery a lot of them . Particularly Ali-a crying shame. However, he says even if boxing did cause his Parkinsons's (let's face it, it did) he would do it all again and I believe him.

It wasnt the fact they was brave ( not that they wasnt ) they were fighting in the days of 15 round fights and 50/60/70 fight careers as well as hard sparring......understanding has come a long way today with the shorter distance,no gym wars,better conditioning,less fights etc meaning we,ll see far fewer punchy ex fighters than those days.

Darbo , cheers for putting the Cowdell KO on , he doesn't even tee him up with a jab , its just an uppercut on the button , Nelson was too powerful at that weight for most fighters , Pat was out cold before he hit the canvas !
