Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 Hey, neat. Over 20 Ali fights this weekend. Reason for the thread: What is your favorite Ali fight? One of mine is his target practice session against George Chuvalo in Chuvalo's hometown. Though he never dropped him, Ali beat the poor guy worse than he'd ever been whooped, aside from maybe the downright vulgar pummeling he received from George Foreman. Ali socked Chuvalo with a right jab at one point...from a conventional stance. That's just embarassing.

EVIL~! alkeiper Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 I hope they show the Cleveland Williams fight. Williams landed THREE punches the entire three rounds. Just an ass-kicking at its artistic best.
snuffbox Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 Espn Classic's website doesnt list it as one of the fights, but I assume it will be a part of one of the shows during the marathon where the matches arent listed. I dont know how they could go a whole weekend without showing Ali's best fight.
Guest Brian Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 I've got to figure out which blocks of fights to tape.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 I've never seen that Cleveland Williams fight, though it's the kind of thing I'd love. One sided drubbings can be a good time.
