lamest world title fight

[Bill Paxtom]

~ Muhammad Ali vs. Jean-Pierre Coopman ~

Did anybody really believe this 'garbage' was a World-Class bout for Heavywieght Champion
of the World.

Jean-Pierre wasn't even rated in the Top 15. He was given a 'mercy rating' of #16 by
the WBC to make him look respectable.

CBS-Sports did their best to make this bout interesting, by stating that Muhammad Ali
only trained for 1-Week.

"They tell me that Jean-Pierre is one tough cookie. He's called 'The Lion of Flanders', and
that must mean something."

"His sparring spessions have been closed to the public. They must have a secret plan."
