"Smokin' Joe" was involved in and nearly won the Thrilla in Manila, one of the best heavyweight fights of all time. He defeated fellow ATG Muhammad Ali along with Jerry Quarry, Bob Foster, Jimmy Ellis, Buster Mathis and twice bested Oscar Bonavena. He also, of course, won a gold medal in the 1964 Olympics.
So, does this not qualify him as an ATG? I used to think everyone on here considered him as such but it seems that isn't so, in the case of one poster at least. What do you guys think? Yay or nay?
