They all had so much desire to win. Winning the heavyweight championship actually meant something to them. Compare that to some of the pathetic efforts against the klistchko's.
BTW, how did you guys score the two Ali-Norton fights? I was watching "facing Ali" today in which Foreman said "norton would beat Ali on any given day".
Back then there were so many heavyweights that yearned for the heavyweight championship. Real fighters, that were willing to put it all on the line to win the title. There was Frazier, Norton, Ernie Terrell, Floyd Patterson, Foreman, Earnie Shavers....and the list goes on.
I mean what an era. So many top fighters with massive hearts. When I compare that era to todays era it shows that boxings changed. I guess not as many guys from the extreme poverty that them guys came from, so they haven't got as much desire to make it.
Oh well.
Perhaps it was the last great era in heavyweight boxing. One champion and all the other contenders jocking for position.
Split titles have ruined it I'm afraid. And every time they are unified the sanctioning bodies look hard for an excuse to split them again.
