What a time it must have been to be a boxing fan. You had that amazing heavyweight era, when a man like Ken Norton couldn't win a title and he would be a unified champion for the past five years if he were around now. Then you had the middleweight glory years... all the best stuff is in the middle to lower divisions now.
Joe was some man. Smaller than all his contemporaries, he could dig. Just goes to show the brute Foreman was that he did what he did to Frazier, and then Frazier came out after and had the Thrilla with Ali... makes the Rumble even more of a miracle.
Great days.
