[originallambrettaman]

Ali?

No. I think Ali's medal was at light heavyweight.

Audrey , sorry Audley Harrison?

Wasn't he super heavy weight in the olympics anyway?

 

[Carmine Galante.]

He was indeed.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

No. I think Ali's medal was at light heavyweight.

It's klitscho isn't it?

 

[DMD]

It's klitscho isn't it?

Nope.

It surprised me when I read it earlier today, so I'm glad I'm not the only one that didn't know.

As a clue, it was around the Ali era.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

**** me sideways, you THINK Tyson in his prime COULD beat Fury.

It would be over in 60 seconds.

Have I made a tit of myself and read that wrong?

IMO a focussed, motivated and well prepared Tyson would have beaten any other heavyweight in history.

He was an unstoppable force of nature.

It's well known that Tyson was terrified of George Foreman. not that that means anything but it's interesting.

Tyson sacked off the people that made him greatly a short while before the Douglas fight.

He could have been so much more than he became.

Spinks? I should know this.

 

[bum_chinned_crab]

Have you read his autobiography Bummers?

Oh and you're wrong by the way.

No.

 

[dennisboothstash]

Joshua is one of only two boxers to win the world heavy weight title, whilst still being the reigning Olympic Champion.

Any guesses who the other one is?

Ray Mercer?

Cus d'amato dying was the start of his downfall

 

[bum_chinned_crab]

It's klitscho isn't it?

I thought it was as well.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

Cus d'amato dying was the start of his downfall

Plus his new bird poured poison in his ears along with Don King and convinced him everyone was against him.

 

[DMD]

Ray Mercer?

No.

This guy is really well known and ranked eight in the boxing hall of fame.

Just looking at the summary of his life on Wiki, and it reads like a country and western song.

 

[DMD]

Spinks? I should know this.

No, the other end of Ali's career.

I'm panicking now in case I read it wrong.

 

[DMD]

I thought it was as well.

Just checked, and he was another super heavyweight.

 

[Kempton]

If Frank had hit him when Harry said "Hit him Frank". But he didn't.

 

[Carmine Galante.]

Haf Frank had hit him when Harry said "Hit him Frank"

And that worked out well......

 

[DMD]

Just to ease my paranoia, here's the quote I read. It's well worth reading this guys Wiki page.

Joshua is the second boxer, after #####, to win a world heavyweight title whilst still reigning as Olympic champion at the top weight.
