Do we really KNOW that Trevor Berbick wouldn't have beaten Prime Ali

[billeau2]

Berbick was robbed against Tyson. The ref stopped the fight too soon. Berbick was about to take Tyson into deep water and drown him.

Holmes scared Berbick, he could not believe Larry would project himself from the ring like that.

Silly. First Berbick was never worlds heavyweight champion. If you think he was find another sport to follow.

Secondly Berbick was a low skilled primitive fighter. One look should tell you he would be destroyed by prime Ali. He beat Ali because he was young and strong fighting a sick old very past prime Ali.

I would co-sign on this. Never thought much of Berbick.

Berbick was never heavyweight champion of the world. Period.

He was if you ask the WBC

[HOUDINI563]

The WBC does not decide who is the world’s heavyweight champion.

[ShoulderRoll]

The WBC does not decide who is the world’s heavyweight champion.

So Tyson Fury isn't heavyweight champion?

[HOUDINI563]

The world’s heavyweight champion is the lineal champion. The boxing commissions do not decide the true champion.

[QueensburyRules]

The world’s heavyweight champion is the lineal champion. The boxing commissions do not decide the true champion.

- -OK, Mr. Smartypants, pray tell us who who decides the lineal champ if I can entice 300lb Lewis out of retirement with a 50mil purse and slap him silly.

Ali vs Lar was worse than a farce, it was exposing Ali to serious health risks that exacerbated his Parkinsons. I could go on, but no need to pile on the obvious for the congenitally oblivious.
