Ali vs Stevenson 1976

[QueensburyRules]

--- Sweetie, the AOL boards never discussed Wilt.

And YOU always bringing up AOL this and that. What, still wearing the same training pants your minder left you in 2 decades ago?

Phew...go figure...

No. Just letting everyone know your patter has not changed in 20 years. Just one stupid impossible to understand post after another.

EVERYONE knows no basketball player with zero boxing experience is going to beat the Ali of 1967. Wilt would be koed brutally by Butterbean. Very obviously.

And he would likely get KO'd by CM Punk, too.

I think it is safe to say now and with confidence that Ali would have beat him any cubans that turn professional they ALWAYS lose the big fight maybe because they are content with life, but the hunger goes when professional every single one of them.

Probably except for Lara

[rudy]

He lost to Canelo and to Hurd unification ie big Fights

[Anthony342]

Probably except for Lara

What about Gamboa?

[QueensburyRules]

--- The fight was like the Wilt fight, a one time one off meeting never to be replicated, so this notion that Teofilo would get fat and lazy fighting in America don't hold water.

Fat and lazy was the replacement fight Ali showed against Young.

[OctoberRed]

What about Gamboa?

He lost the hunger early on, only chased money.

--- The great Americano vs the great Cubano, Teofolio Stevenson proposed for the spring of 1976.

Stevenson with much size and youth over Ali, but Fidel nixed the fight, not trusting American officiating and not wanting to turn his biggest star into a political media lightning rod.

Ali instead looked like yesterday's warmed over poo against Jimmy Young that served notice he was never again to be Ali of yore.

Make your case yea or nay as you may.

I can’t make a case either way.. we will never know... if Ali could have defeated teofelo stevenson..

I’m too old to imagine...
