actually i did, thanks for the reminder

[Frazier's 15th round]

I see Heckler is being a little ***** again. Realistically, Ali lost about 15 fights in his career, not 5.

rofl... if you spent more time watching these fights instead of being the little pre-pubscent, ignorant **** you are you might conclude otherwise... i doubt it though, you are without a doubt a dribbling ****** thus an accurate analysis is beyond you.

You are useless. Why the hell do you post a pic like that in this topic. All you do is fool around these forums. Useless.

Not once have i ever seen you make a good longer post about boxing. Just short smart ass comments, and obsessive insults against Butterfly.

[Brassangel]

Yeah, insulting butterfly in here doesn't make that much sense. I just expected him to make some rediculous comments about Ali, which he hasn't. So, please refrain from the flaming.

Ron Lyle may have had a slight edge on the judge's scorecards against Ali, but that didn't matter when Ali made him dizzy, and followed it with about a hundred shots to the head. The ref did the right thing.

Now, back to something that matters...

10 round fight: This scenario would be short enough to give Tyson the decision because he was generally busier than his opponents in rounds 1-6.

12 round fight: Ali wins by decision.

15 round fight: Ali wins by TKO/stoppage.

We may even see random mid-to-late-round knockdowns from Tyson. Since both fighters would be fatigued, and likely to get into frequent clinches, he was known to come out of nowhere with a shuffle to the side and uppercut. The more rounds there are, the worse the situation gets for Tyson, however, as he generally worked the same amount of time in any length fight. I could be completely wrong here; Ali may get greedy a la Doug Jones and try to go toe-to-toe with Mike in the shorter fight. This could cost him and he might get caught. Furthermore, while Joe Frazier may have attacked the body more often than Mike did, Mike caused quite a few knockdowns in his career from solo body punches. His gutshots were often unexpected, compact, quick, and devastating. Taking the wind out of a fighter, even momentarily can be just enough to make one's headhunting worthwhile.

Yarrrgh...it continues.
