On a side note:
I read recently that terrell was an example of how ali would handle the klitschkos Ernie Terrell was 6'6" and a good boxer, but thats were the comparisons end...
Ernie Terrell IS ONE OF THE MOST FEATHERFISTED GUYS ever witnessed in the whole history of real heavyweight boxing.
He scored only 2 KOs (in his entire career) in real heavyweight fights.
1 KO against Garcia (who started at 150+ lbs).
and 1 KO against a 33-16 bum (Bill Drover).
Ernie Terrell is NOTHING compared to the Klitschkos.
Terrell's real heavyweight record (200x2) is 9-5.
Additionally Terrell claims that Ali thumbed him ("Clay as Clay can") so that his eye got jammed and was fixed in one direction since the early rounds.
The fight Ali-vs-Terrell does not show how well Ali handled a tall guy but HOW BAD ALI performed against a tall guy.
Terrell's medium weight is 197 lbs. He was a CRUISER. Compare Terrell with modern cruisers not with real heavyweights 50 pounds heavier.
Just thought id throw it out there...
