60 Years Ago

[sport historian]

So you agree Clay's corner cheated and there were several other fights which were dubious at best that Clay later called Ali won. Both Liston fights, all of Norton's fights and the Jimmy Young fight. I really feel like both Spink's fights was fix even if Ali lost one. This was so Ali could regain the title and Howard Cossell could once again call Ali The Greatest.

Are you aware that a fighter isn't knocked out when he gets up before the count of 10 and can continue?

I never said he was knocked out, I said the extra time CLay had in between rounds gave him time to fully recover. The only point to my original post was his corner resorted to cheating to keep him in the fight.

The subject of this thread, started by me, was Ingemar Johansson winning the title 60 years ago, not meaningless blathering about the 1963 Clay-Cooper fight.

Well, I will blather no more.
