except leonard and ali didnt fight away from home...
Ali fought everyone, everywhere.except leonard and ali didnt fight away from home...
Ali did fight away from home many times. And he fought everybody there was as for most of the time they were fighting for the undisputed championship. Not taking away from Furys achievement but beating a heavyweight like Wilder doesn't compare in my eyes to beating the likes of Frasier Foreman, Norton, Liston, Paterson, Quarry, Ellis, Shavers and several others all of which were significantly better boxers than the wild Wilder. Sorry but i dont think Fury is in Ali's League in comebacks let alone ability.
Leonard came back after three years out and defeated the undisputed and most formidable boxer of his generation in Marvin Hagler who was two weights heavier than Leonards welterweight.
Ali didnt fight away from home after his break from the sport....the rest of your chat is superflous really cause its waxing-on something fury never said
Leonards comeback was bonny enough...but it wasnt away from home....and whilst i respect your opinion and your right to have it, leonard dictated absolutley everything about the fight including the distance in a 15 round era...fury went on his lonesome, like he did to germany.
Sorry pal i think your getting your apples and zebra-crossings arse about...it's why i mentioned anything other than Ali's comeback fight is absolutely superflous,, Zaire was'nt a comeback...Ali's comeback was mega but it was hometown...full stop.
Marvin being mega, you're preaching to the converted, do i consider having a knock-up stood in the centre of a ring with wilder greater than running around marvellous in the largest ring known to man for 12 rounds (and not 15 cause ray said so) and refusing to engage with a showboat pantomine at the round end...yeah i do consider it greater and presumably the 3 thousand punters in the appollo that night found it greater evidenced by them stood up booing the result. Great result for leonard but not a great performance...the polar opposite of fury saturday night.
Leonard & Hagler where my favourite fighters i couldn't choose a winner before the fight because i liked them equally but at the end & even now all these years later i couldnt believe Leonard got the verdict Hagler was the clear winner everyone apart from the ringside judges thought the same boxing politics may have come into it who knows .
