[Master]

I have heard him say he could have been champion but with all due respect to him he would have got slaughtered by Liston and Ali did him a favour.

Never crossed my mind that...fuk. Liston would have hurt him bad lol

IMO it would not have really changed much...just a minor set back for Clay/Ali at the time would have been all...That man was destined to be who he was...I mean you have to really think about him as a whole....Ali was bigger then boxing.....Besides like it was already said...Liston would have murdered poor Henry

I agree.

A loss did not do Joe Louis any harm.

Plus Coopers manager said he would not let him in the same street as Liston never mind the same ring.

I think the quote they used to use was that Liston was too ugly for Cooper to fight against! In other words he would never fight him.

Ali was carrying Cooper in the fight and got careless. When He got up he was Okay, He would have moved and cleared his head Im certain . I was there, extra time there was none.

Well the thing with "What ifs" is when you start diggin in then someone can comeback and say well "Imagine how different the fight would have been if Ali wouldn't have got careless?"
