Imagine Marvin Hagler getting dropped 6 times and stopped in 2 rounds, or Jake LaMotta getting dropped 6 times and stopped in 2 rounds. That's the same with Frazier, and George did that to him. Just simply unbelievable.
Very much agreed, but imo that does more to heighten the Ali - Foreman fight for me. But excellent points and you can't argue with that CC.
