Re: Is this the worst era in HW boxing history?
On the Ali topic still Mr140...
Take Jean Marc Mormeck as an example.
This opponent has been ridiculed by Wladimir's critics as being the worst example of trash that Wladimir has ever fought.
Yet he is a 6 time CW champion which in Ali's day translates to a 6 time HW champion!
His weight against Wladimir was among the larger opponents that Ali ever fought, heftier than Spinks, Holmes, Berbick, Norton and Frazier and Liston and only 1lb lighter than George Foreman and even solider than George since he is shorter and in more ripped condition than any of them.
His record and the quality of Mormecks opposition is so much greater than that of Ali's opponents, that should Mormeck have been an opponent of Muhammad Ali back in the 60's or 70's.. And he won, Mormeck could well have been the best opponent that Muhammad Ali ever faced! And would be used as proof of the superiority of the golden era and how good Ali was to have bested such an opponent.
Yet to Wladimir Klitschko this was a complete joke and a mismatch. I hope you understand what I am getting at here!!
