Could a Heavyweight be crowned a P4P #1?

[ROSEWOOD]

With the WW class being as deep as it has ever been...I don't see this happening no time soon..I'm talking the next 10 to 20 years...

I wouldn't be shocked if Wlad were to get considered for #1 before he retires.

I'm no kid. I'm probably old enough to be your father. See below...

I know damn well who he meant by "Clay." The question (who's Clay?) was strictly rhetorical in my subtle way of asking Lance Uppercut why is he referring to Ali by his renounced "slave" name. Would you refer to Abdul-Jabbar as Alcindor? (yet another rhetorical question)

Shut up. This isn't 1971, and Clay isn't a slave name.

If Ali was that fast as a heavyweight just think of how fast he would have been as a middleweight, no one would have ever caught him .


Ali's family was proud of the name Clay because it was the name of the slave owner who freed them . or some ish like that

Shut up?! I havn't uttered a word...

Let's not get our pantyhose in a bind over my use of the term "slave" name. The reason that word is between quotation marks is because Ali himself used it in reference to his former name. That is, the concept and the word is Ali's, not mine. When he joined the Nation of Islam and changed his name, he resented Floyd Patterson, Ernie Terrell and all who continued to call him Clay.
