why would you presume ali would use his rope-a-dope game plan on tyson

he was more astute than that

also if you are to look at tyson at the top of his game you should allow ali the same courtesy

both at their peak ali would be my pick

Tyson was a very similar fighter to smokin Joe Frazier, except as we saw, had a glass jaw.... but Frazier wouldn't drop.

Ali would pick Tyson off. especially the younger Cassius.

    Where does Tony Madigan fit in this discussion, beaten by Clay in a semi at the Rome 1960 Olympics.

    Many believed he was robbed including myself.

    I think Madigan was around 30 when he fought Clay in Rome. ... in the light heavyweight division.

    After that, he was probably more interested in male modelling.. seem to recall him saying no to offers turning pro.

    wouldn't be the first boxer who got dudded, smithy

    I used to follow the game when I was younger and was a Ron Casey fan.

    I remember listening to the Famechon/Legra and Rose/Harada victories on 3LO.

    Suspect the game has always been crooked, just like racing.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
