Which fight was that picture from the first or second bout?
Leonard looks focused and Duran looks like a mountain.

Bowe's jab against Holyfield in their first fight was a thing of beauty.

If the photo is not now, it will be in the future. Look in the background, not AJ but Eddie and James Corden.

It was in 1976, months after Ali-Frazier III, and during Ali's visit to P.R. for his following fight against Jean-Pierre Coopman. José Miguel Agrelot was a famous celebrity on the island at that time... and they set up this fake fight for charity. With the help of Iris Chacón, a very famous local entertainer during that time. All the proceeds went to charity.
Visited that gravesite. Gave me goosebumpsQuote:

Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston 2

It freaks me out this photo.
For one you'd think such an iconic fight would be held in some massive place but no the second Ali Liston match was held in a hockey rink in Lewiston, Maine and two the way everyone is smartly dressed, seated, still and motionless. It almost looks like a theater crowd or japanese boxing crowd or some1 giving a speech at a political rally
I mean if you were to take out the ring you'd never guess that the ppl were watching boxing. I guess in the UK we are more used to major boxing fights having a football (soccer for my USA brothers) atmosphere but some guy set up a remote camera in a corner of the arena to capture the entire stadium during the fight.

"I can't sing and I can't dance, but I can lick any SOB in the house.' - Jack Dempsey
Years before becoming the World Heavyweight Champion, Jack Dempsey left the family home at the age of 16. Dempsey found himself homeless, hungry and poor. He'd visit saloons and challenge to fight anyone in the house and bets would be made, Dempsey would usually win.

I knew he died and the photo was iconic.
Reminds me OF A 1965 CHEVY I used to have when I was 17 the way the inside looks. So simple but so cool. Better than all of today's hi=tech stuff. EDIT: I didn't have a record player in it though LOLQuote:
