My cousin & brother the Great Nash can not pick and choose what comes to him, but Nash saw Usyk out there on the frontline winning that war. Cash inComment

Fighters move up the chain, plateau, and then move down generally with plenty of exceptions. Joe was 32 when he had his first post Army fight, and 34 against the 34yr old Wolcott for his last fight and retirement with a record of 4-0, 3KO. Joe's career is one of the steadier records in history proving even in decline he was better than the best in his day.
So he wasn't peak, few fighters ever are in their careers for long, but no where near shot as he proved in his comeback.
Ali was 28 when he started his comeback with an easier schedule and dolts then and now say he wasn't the same, nor was I at 28 compared to 21 nor was I at 38 and so forth. Joe did better because he was better and more stable than mecurical Ali as their career comparisons show.Comment

Read the reports of Louis' comeback fights and ,if you have them watch, them as I first did in the 60's.
You seem to be under the impression I am knocking Louis.far from it! I am explaining to you ,or trying to , that he was only about 60% of the fighter he had been.That's why he retired he knew he wasn't the Brown Bomber anymore
.
Little tip for you ,don't try and use words you cannot spell. MERCURIAL.Told you you can be ****** at times! lolComment

Quarry was ranked no 3 and Bonavena no 7

Joe had the harder, longer career, period, as well as the better career in all phases. Ali career like a drunk careening from one massive controversy to the next. Joe had fewer controversies and settled them with KO rematches.Comment

- - I've seen most of Louis title fights and comeback fights and all of Ali's fights and have infinitely more experience with software word checks and don't get nearly so ennobled as your monogramed shorts.

Is it just that you have this need to see your name in posts? Such an overweening need that you perpetually post things that have no relevance to the subject being discussed.
Sad really.Last edited by Ivich; 02-17-2023, 01:53 PM.Comment
