Those were the days..

Indeed they were.

If we were lucky, we could catch the fight live on Saturday afternoon’s Wide World of Sports hosted by Howard Cosell.

If not Live, we could watch the replay, savoring the creativity and skill of the greatest BOXERS of the age.

Now-a-days, they don’t BOX.

When asked of Ali in his late 50’s, how he would expect to fare against Mike Tyson, Ali quipped, “Don’t make me laugh...”
Tyson, was NO Boxer...

Interesting thought... What would Ali do if Tyson tried to bite off his ear? I’d pay to see that!!
