Thread: Rematches don't bode well for ex-Champs

Let's take a look:

Alexis Arguello was smoked in the rematch with Aaron Pryor
Jersey Joe Walcott got smoked in the rematch with Marciano.
Jack Dempsey was shellacked and outclassed in the rematch with Gene Tunney.
Sonny Liston was smoked like a duck in the rematch with Muhammad Ali.
Floyd Patterson was smoked in the rematch with Sonny Liston.
Mike Tyson was destroyed in the rematch with Evander Holyfield.
Evander Holyfield was destroyed in the rematch with Lennox Lewis.
Larry Holmes was destroyed in the rematch with Michael Spinks.
Riddick Bowe was destroyed in the rematch with Andrew Golota.
Joe Frazier was destroyed in the rematch with George Foreman.
Floyd Patterson was destroyed in the rematch with Muhammad Ali.
Ezzard Charles was destroyed in the rematch with Rocky Marciano.

Only all time greats like Muhammad Ali and Lennox Lewis could come back from a staggering and stunning loss where they lost their championship crown and come back and win the rematch.

Wladimir Klitschko is no all time great and he will get his ass handed to him in the rematch with Tyson Fury.

History bears that out for those who will admit it.
