    Agreed! He also fought younger men who were awful!!
    LOL! Nah, Roland LaStarza was a heck of a fighter, Rex Layne wasn't too bad and as Nat Fleisher opined the night of the first Ezzard-Marciano fight "Only Marciano beats Charles that night."

    Angelo Dundee ripped Ali's glove against Cooper and delayed it for 5 minutes to give him extra time to recover.

    Thats got to be British boxings biggest myth.

    I have read in 2 British papers in the last few days how Cooper was given a few extra minutes where fromm what I understand it was only around 30 seconds or so.

    1. Joe Calzaghe fought and beat all the other SM belt holders during his time as title holder.

    2. Frank Warren isnt a cunt.

    3. James DeGale isnt a long faced ugly cunt.

    That's a fact.

    He won the vacant WBO title against Eubank, the IBF title against Lacy and the WBC/WBA titles against Kessler.

    You can't fuck with the facts. Fact.
