Tyson would fuck him up.Comment

Prime Tyson wins this one, hard to bet against the prime Tyson in any case but I think he blows out Frazier, who will be game but eventually overwhelmed.Comment

Lmao I watched all his Norton fights and the Earnie Shaver fight and he can thank allah because it must have been him that graced Ali with the win because it sure as hell wasn't his in ring display lol.
Shavers ****** him like a drum for the entire fight and Ken Norton just made him look silly in there a bit like when Ali fought Jimmy Young lol its embarrassing...
It really is, Ali became bigger than boxing and the proof of that is those dubious decisions.Comment

Two-handed explosive puncher who is a savage in the first half, especially the first four, and then starts to lag in the second half.. still the power will be there.
vs
One handed non-stop action machine who gets stronger down the stretch.
If Tyson catches Frazier with an uppercut while Joe is in the motion of ducking, its all over.Comment

That was sarcasm.
Comparing Pryor's kid to Hawk is insanity.
jr. isn't the fighter Hawk was because he was raised in the good life after Hawk won the titles and got all the good tv time; That's exactly what I was saying about Marvis. Marvis was born with silk pajamas, daddy earned um for him.
Joe Frazier was a different breed of man to his son. Same with Pryor and his.
And he wasn't ****ing featherfistedComment

Do you really think Norton was robbed in his second fight with Ali? I was the biggest Ali hater back then and I couldn't see any way anyone could give this fight to Norton as I was looking for rounds to give him.
As for the third fight, I tried to scored this fight without any bias and even tho deep down I would've wanted Norton to win on my scorecard, he didn't.
Norton won rounds: 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 14
Ali won rounds: 1, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 15
Drew rounds: 4 and 12
Even round 4 could've been tipped in Ali's favor looking back so all in all there was no robbery I think Ali won fair and square. Almost everyone in the arena basically had the bout come down to the 15th round which Ken gave away by landing one jab in the first two minutes and a total of two up to the last thirty seconds, he gave the round and fight away. Norton has no one to blame but himself. The Associated press had the bout 8-6-1 Ali while UPI had it by round 8-7 for Norton, and the London Daily Mirror 6-6-3, all razor close in a very close fight won by Ali. (Unofficial punch counts done by various observers is 281 landed by Ali and 199 Norton for the bout).
As for the Young bout, The referee warned Young repeatedly for hitting below the belt early on, but then he just forgot about it while Young continued to do it. So while some people may have scored these flurries as points for Young, I didn't because they were illegal.
Secondly, it could have counted as a knockdown against Jimmy when he stuck his head and body outside the ring. In the tenth round, Ali actually tried punching Jimmy while he ducked outside the ring. But the referee pulled him off.
No robbery in that one.
Even Shavers admitted he lost against Ali.Comment
