I do not think there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature. JDR
@Tom_Gray_Boxing@MuhammadAli True Williams is a little passed his prime but is there any fighter in the history of the heavyweight division you would favour against Ali that night? #TheGreatest
Can we stop writing fighters off in defeat!?
Comment with one of your favourite examples of a fighter being written off in defeat but went on to achieve further or even greater success.
Ali-Spinks 2: You need good 👀 to catch the variety here: clean left hook, clean left uppercut, clean right lead, clean left hook... all the while avoiding Spinks' best returns. Given that he's over a decade past his best, Ali's accuracy and radar is awesome! @MuhammadAli 🇺🇸🥊🇺🇸
@realmikeezra Every fighter in that Top 10 is terrific. They wouldn't win every fight back in the 1980s but they would win some and cause a great deal of trouble in others. Nostalgia freaks might lose their minds, but you need to keep it real.
