Oh well, we're all getting on a bit I suppose...

He was 67, not that old in today's terms.

RIP to a brave warrior

Smokin' Joe wus a giant among... er, other giants.

What an era Liston to Foreman was, including Clay/Ali, Frazier, Terrell, Norton, Patterson, Bonavena, Quarry, Ellis, Williams, Folley, Mathis, even Cooper and Chuvalo.

Strange that!

I also missed out Brian London and several other British horizontal heavyweights. Although Bugner was big, strong and orthodox and in another era might have won one of the heavyweight titles.
