Nice to hear a living person who met all these greats and can tell the stories

They probably didn’t realize it at the time but they were making history, and now these recounts are extremely valuable.

damn ... left hook by Joe Frazier thrown like a sledge hammer ...

This bloke is the champ, he fought all the legends more times then they fought each other . Champion of the world.

Foreman wasn't trying to hurt him man was breaking concrete blocks for fun

Ali kept taking those body shots from Joe but never let anyone around know the pain he felt!I can only keep adulating this man!I wish I had 5% of his heart and spirit!Like our friend (Rocky)Stallone says "it ain't how hard you can hit but how hard you can be hit but keep coming back!" or something like that!

I also think people don't give him enough credit for how skilled he was. Probably the strongest heavyweight p4p and perhaps the hardest hitting. Just check out what his opponents and sparring partners said about him. And he started late so by some estimations, he was close to 40 when he fought Ali and he fought him with a bad shoulder which was confirmed by 8 independent doctors after the fight

This guy is also very true 2 life as a revealer of information, I really dig the way you spoke, he was a sparring partner and he still Sharp and I appreciate how he broke down what he said about the three boxers, I appreciate how he broke it down he told you the truth about Joe Louis the white power structure just wanted to mold him just the opposite of Jack Johnson he was marketable so they couldn't deny his spot in the ring so this guy Stan is giving it to you out of Black age respect he's trying to tell you you can't go wrong with either one of those three and Jack Johnson was first in the oldest, so I can dig that

Llved in Maitland Australia home of Les Darcy a very underrated middleweight and now in Atherton and the owner of the pub in the main street Jack Nasser has a photo of his Grandfather 1906 in full boxing pose a most imposing figure and when I asked Jack about his grandad he told me how he'd sparred with Jack Johnson and not once hit him always rated Ali the best but watching Johson box makes me doubt reflexes like a cat but faster

Frazier was way faster and had more snap on his punches, George just liked to bludgeon the other guy, hardly any technique but throwing arm punches when your that big pretty much means you can knockout anyone. If you've seen facing Ali you can see his quote "next to Frazier this was the hardest I ever been hit" when it's showing shavers.
