Remember young De La Hoya being bounced off the canvas by a couple guys brought in to fall over early in career.
That's rubbish. First off if you can't appreciate the difference between WW2 and Vietnam then I don't really know what to tell you. Aside from that, Joe Louis never saw combat(though he might well have been willing to, I'm not sure). He fought charity exhibition bouts in order to entertain the troops and raise morale. Ali could have quite easily done the same thing, there was no chance he would have been deployed for action in any scenario. The stance he took required a lot more courage than doing that would have, and it had nothing to do with his being a Muslim, which wasn't seen as any more abrasive than being black was in those days in America.
Can we stick Floyd Cummings poleaxing Frank in here? I know he never actually went down but that was purely due to the Moons position in relation to Jupiter or some shit, he was out.
Cummings only had 22 fights and Frank was the last on his journeyman road. He'd already been beaten by a handful of other names.
