1962 ~ Cassius Clay goes from #10 Ranking to #2 ~ "What the F***"

[X]

its true. This is a scandal of outrageous proportions. Never in the history of boxing have i heard of crooked or incompetent ranking systems. This now clouds my whole opinion of the saintly sport, which hitherto was a bastion of gentlemanly conduct, respectful behaviour, fair fights and decent, balanced fans.

It's just a good job that this particular fighter was later shown to simply not be very good, and I suspect he just quickly disappeared off the radar of the hard core boxing fan. We are lucky that the general public never really heard of him so he didn't later prove to be the reason boxing was so unpopular in the 60's and 70's.

I do declare I detect a cretinous buffoon ...... And it ain't Cassius.
