Puts the current lot to shame seeing as he fought Ali then Frazier within 5 months of each other (on top of one earlier in the year - '73 - and two more before the year was out).

Did he land a punch?

According to Bugner (about Ali)...

Bugner said: “In the first fight I caught him with a beautiful right hand and he said: ‘Damn, good punch white boy, do it again!’ Now, I was only 22 years old, which meant I was stupid enough to try it and he caught me with four solid punches to the jaw. The reactions, the speed, the timing, were brilliant.”
