Last 50 years Heavyweight tournamet

[Thomas Hearns]

• Just a tournament with the best Heavyweights from 1964 to 2014 as the main characters.

• On the first stage we have 32 groups of 6 boxers divided by era with the first two qualified of each group advancing to the following round.

• All the fights will be scheduled to 10 rounds.

[Thomas Hearns]

This group include boxers from the early sixties:

1 Floyd Patterson
2 Eddie Machen
3 Zora Folley
4 Amos Lincoln
5 Joe Erskine
6 Roger Rischer

Patterson appears as the main favourite to win the group, Machen and Folley will compete for the second place on the following round. Lincoln could be the surprise on this group. Erskine and Rischer don't seem to have chances of advancing to the following round.

3 Zora Folley 3-2-0 (1)
4 Amos Lincoln 2-3-0
5 Roger Rischer 1-4-0
6 Joe Erskine 0-5-0



Easy way for Patterson with an outstanding performance on his fight against Folley. Only Machen was a real rival for him. The fight between Machen and Folley was the key for the definition of the second place on the following round and Machen clearly outpointed Folley on an action packed fight.

[Thomas Hearns]

Another group with boxers of the early sixties.

1 Sonny Liston
2 Doug Jones
3 Robert Cleroux
4 Henry Cooper
5 Brian London
6 Joe Bygraves

Liston is the clear-cut favourite to win this group, Jones, the canadian Cleroux and englishman Henry Cooper will compete fo the second place on the following round. London and Bygraves seems to be a step backwards.

HW: Doug Jones 0-0-0 (0) MD10 Henry Cooper 0-0-0 (0)

Final Standings


1 Sonny Liston 5-0-0 (4)
2 Robert Cleroux 3-2-0 (2)
3 Doug Jones 3-2-0 (1)
4 Brian London 2-3-0 (2)
5 Henry Cooper 1-4-0 (1)
6 Joe Bygraves 1-4-0 (1)


As it was expected Liston stopped four of his rivals and gave Robert Cleroux a real beating in spite of not stopping him. The canadian Cleroux won the second place on the second round with his victory against Doug Jones in spite of strugling on his first fight against little regarded Bygraves. Good performance by Brina London and bad tournament for Cooper.

[Thomas Hearns]

A mid-sixties group:

1 George Chuvalo
2 Gregorio Peralta
3 Karl Mildenberger
4 Alex Mittef
5 Sante Amonty
6 Tom McNeeley

Chuvalo and Peralta seems to be the main favourites to win the group. Mildenberger appears to be the only capable to challnge the fovourites.

Final Standings

3 Karl Midenberger 2-1-2
4 Sante Amonti 2-2-1 (2)
5 Alex Miteff 1-4-0 (1)
6 Tom McNeeley 0-4-1 (1)


The main favourites Chuvalo and Peralta advanced to the following round. The fight between then was very close with a little in margin in Peralta's favor until he was disqualified due to a low blow. Midenberger scored a resonant victory against Chuvalo but a pair of technical draws against Amontyi and McNeeley let him without chances to challenge for one of the two places. Good tournament for the italian Amonti.

TH,


I like the groupings thus far, and I think that you're working off a vary strong concept.


So correct me if I'm wrong, you're planning to pull the best out of each era and end with an ultimate showdown between the two fighters left standing.


Sounds like something I'll be following very closely!

[Thomas Hearns]

A mid to late sixties group:

1 Ernie Terrell
2 Jimmy Ellis
3 Amos Johnson
4 Alejandro Lavorante
5 Tony Alongi
6 Sonny Banks

Terrell and Ellis are the hot favourites to advance to the following round and Amos Johnson seems to be their main enemy.

Jimmy Ellis beat Terrell by a narrow margin to secure the first place on the group. On the last round of the tournament Ernie Terrell and Amos Johnson battled for the last place on the second round with Terrell convincingly winning the fight.

[Thomas Hearns]

With "The Greatest" in action we have another mid to late sixties group.

1 Muhammad Ali
2 Buster Mathis
3 Leotis Martin
4 Eduardo Corletti
5 Thad Spencer
6 Jack Bodell

With Muhammad Ali as the total favourite to win the group, Buster Mathis and Leotis Martin seems to be the other two big names on this group. Corletti and Spencer appears with some chances to give a surprise.

Final Standings

3 Eduardo Corletti 2-3-0 (1)
4 Thad Spencer 2-3-0
5 Buster Mathis 1-3-1
6 Jack Bodell 1-4-0 (1)

Easy way for Muhammad Ali that knocked out four of his five rivals to wint the tournamnet. Martin won the secnd place and Buster Mathis was the great deception of the group in spite of being the only one who lasted the distance with Ali. Mathis also was robbed of a legitime victory against Martin when the fight was ruled a draw. Good tournament for Corletti and Spencer.

Hi Proffesor, this will be a muti-round tournament and on the second round I will start to mix fighters of different eras.

That's a fantastic concept!

[Thomas Hearns]

Late sixties early seventies group.

1 Oscar Bonavena
2 Bob Foster
3 Billy Daniels
4 Manuel Ramos
5 Roberto Davila
6 Jurgen Blin

Bonavena seems to be the class of this very even field. Light Heavyweight champion Bob Foster appears as his main enemy. Daniels and Ramos have the chance to give a surprise.

6 Roberto Davila 1-4-0



Big run for Billy Daniels that outpointed both favourites Foster and Bonavena to win the group undefeated. Foster defeats Bonavena on a decesive fight and won the other place on the second round. Bad tournamnet for Ringo and a good one for Blin that earned two unexpected wins.

[Thomas Hearns]

With Joe in action another late sixties early seventies group.

1 Joe Frazier
2 Al Jones
3 Larry Middleton
4 Hubert Hilton
5 Chuck Wepner
6 Henry Clark

Frazier is the big favourite to win this group with Al Jones, Hubert Hilton and Larry Middleton fighting for the second place on the following round.

2 Al Jones 2-1-2 (1)
3 Larry Middleton 2-2-1
4 Chuck Wepner 2-3-0
5 Hubert Hilton 1-3-1
6 Henry Clark 1-4-0


Frazier stopped all his rivals to win the group on a bright form in spite of being dropped by Al Jones on his most difficult fight. For the second place there was a close dispute between Jones, Middleton and a surprising Wepner. A defeat against Clark on the final round left Middleton without nothing and allowed Jones to pass to the following round with an agonic draw against Hilton.

TH,


I'll presume that the "Al Jones" here is the one from Florida as opposed to the other guy from Memphis who also fought during the 60's...world of difference between the two!!!!

[Thomas Hearns]

An early seventies group.

1 Ken Norton
2 Jerry Quarry
3 Mac Foster
4 Boone Kirkman
5 Jose Luis Garcia

Finally as it was expected Quarry and Norton easily dominated the group and on the last bout they faced eachother to determine the winner of the group with Quarry winning by points on a sort of minor upset.

[Thomas Hearns]

An early to mid seventies group with Big George in action.

1 George Foreman
2 Joe Bugner
3 Alvin Lewis
4 Domenico Adinolfi
5 Jeff Merrit
6 Jose Urtain

Foreman is the hot favourite to win this group with Bugner, Al Lewis and Adinolfi fighting for the second place on the following round. Big puncher Jeff Merrit has the conditions to score some upsets.

HW: Jeff Merritt 0-0-0 (0) TKO2 Al Lewis 0-0-0 (0)

3 Domenico Adinolfi 3-2-0
4 Jeff Merritt 2-3-0 (2)
5 Al Lewis 1-4-0
6 Jose Urtain 0-5-0


Foreman destroyed all his rivals only Adinolfi lasted the distance but with a pair of trips to the canvas. Bugner and Adinolfi defined the second place on the following round on the last fight with the victory of Bugner by KO8 on a very competitve fight. Merrit did a good run with victories against Urtain and Al Lewis that was the great deception of this group.

Yes Professor Al Jones is the one of Florida.

A late seventies group.

1 Jimmy Young
2 Ron Lyle
3 Lorenzo Zanon
4 Duane Bobick
5 Ron Stander
6 Johny Bordreaux

Jimmy Young and Ron Lyle are the two favourites to win this group. Italian Lorenzo Zanon seems to be their main enemy, hard hitter but glass jaw Duane Bobick is a real guess.

3 Lorenzo Zanon 3-2-0
4 Ron Lyle 3-2-0 (2)
5 Duane Bobick 1-3-1
6 Johny Borderoux 0-5-0

On the most even group to the date Jimmy Young managed to recover from a bad start, losing to Ron Lyle by a wide unanimous decision, to then win four consecutive fights and the group. Ron Stander produced the first big upset of the tournament qualifying for the second round with victories against Zanon and Ron Lyle that was the great loser of this group.

TH,


I figured as much! Yet for some strange reason, when ever I see Al Jones in the context of boxing, I always think of the tomato can from Memphis!


Florida Al was a pretty good fighter, and I always thought that he suffered from being active in a period where there were so many quality boxers in his division.


Nice to see that he's included in your uni!

P.S. I'm really enjoying following how everything is progressing with your universe.

As it was expected Shaver's power ruled the group stopping all his rivals except Arrington on the last fight. Mike Weaver started bad being stopped by Rodriguez but then recovered winning three and giving Shavers a close fight. An unexpected loss against Arrington let Lucien Rodriguez without a place on the second round.
