Ali had some boring defences after he beat Foreman. Against Bugner was one.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I resemble your remark! Being a lifelong Joe Bugner fan (he is exactly my age) and having spent mega money watching all his Uk fights, plus some on CCTV in the middle of the night, and having the biggest collection of Joe Bugner memorabilia known to man I feel extremely hurt by your spiteful comment.
Bastard!

I became a fan, as an ex amateur boxer, firstly because my old man, who had the money to go and I didn't, saw bugner beat Cooper, and the whole media establishment were anti Bugner, which pissed me off. The most realistic quote on the fight was from Harry Gibbs, the ref. Henry went to him after the fight and said' I thought I nicked it Harry' Harry said 'Henry , Champions don't nick fights'. As a youngster I was totaly pissed off with the Cooper/Brian London/Johnny Prescott/ Jack Bodell lot, they were all fucking useless by comparison, with all due respect. But the real reason why I was a mega fan was Bill Grundy, his 6 o clock news show in 1967 or 8, he introduced Joe Bugner as an 18 yr old heavyweight prospect, blonde Adonis, my mum turned to me, all 10 stone 7, and said, 'you do boxing but you don't look like him'!!
Lennox Lewis V Henry Akinwande - Akinwande just hugged Lewis like Lennox was his new girlfriend.
Mills Lane got so pi$$ed off with Akinwande that he threw him out.
