Brockton,

1967 would be a 'toss-up'.

But any fan with 'boxing logic' would agree, that Smokin' Joe easily defeats
Cassius Clay anytime at all {January 1968 thru December 1971}.

That is a '4-Year' run of complete dominance.

I would still give Joe the edge in 1972, 1973 and 1974 - if it were a
15-Round bout.

By 1975, Joe was a mere shell of himself.

[Master]

Ali would have beaten Joe earlier had he been allowed to box during his prime.
