how many points should Ali have lost fouling?

[Bill Paxtom]

I Blame The Referee's,

Who were all in Muhammad's 'corner', or were in fear of later retaliation.

All were afraid to penalize him a point, in fear of being called a 'racist'.

In my Book,

Joe Frazier wins the 2nd-bout, by way of Points. I could count at least 7-Times
where 'Clutching Cassius' should have been penalized.

Yep, Ali's tactics in the 2nd Frazier fight turned the fight into pure $#!t...



...and one of the worst refs in Boxing history, tony perez, did nothing about it!

Correcto Mundo,

January 1974

Joe Frazier earns a 12-Round Unanimous Decision over 'Clutching Cassius' who
is correctly penalized 7-Points for incessant holding and fouling.

Cassius drops to #3 in the Heavyweight Rankings.

Joe Frazier moves to #1.

Ken Norton stays at #2, despite getting KO'd in 2 by George Foreman.

Cassius is now nicknamed 'The Clutch' by the Press.

Liberace reclaims the moniker 'The Greatest'.
