Chamberlain would make Shaq his girlfriend.

And there's not a corner in the game today who could cover Rice all game.

I doubt if there's any that could cover Paul Warfield tbh.....

this guy what a beast gtfo Harry Greb lmfao

Come on Mark, that's a video of Greb messing around with with a 50 year old O'Brien. There is film of Tunney, Walker and plenty of other excellent fighters Greb beat. I find it difficult to believe the man wasn't absolutely great taking that and newspaper descriptions of the day into account.

Absolutely. Chamberlain would be a major force in the NBA anytime in the past or the future. He was a sensational athlete.

Dude beat Ali in the AMs

Jorge Luis Gonzalez beat both Bowe and Lewis in the amateurs. Randy Shields beat Sugar Ray Leonard. How did that turn out in the pro's? It's baffling to me how many people on this site continue to use amateur fights as an example.

Henry Tillman beat Mike Tyson twice in the ams.....How'd that matchup work out for him in the pros where it actually matters?

I still don't think past greats were any better...only nod I'll give on that is fought tougher oppents with more grit and determination also harder punchers but even then it's a stretch on the harder punching

That still doesn't change my point that a win in the amateurs over Ali has absolutely no relevance to the status of a professional. It certainly doesn't add anything to Ellis pro career.
