Welcome back to the History of Boxing! Tonight, we take you back to 1977. The spectacle with Foreman is in the past. Ali was gradually losing his former condition. His legs no longer moved with the same grace. His famous reaction started to fail him at the most critical moments. But Muhammad remained the leader of the heavyweight division for another four years, defeating Ron Lyle, Joe Frazier, and Ken Norton. Ali was set to defend his titles for the tenth time in 1977. Tonight, it's Earnie “Black Destroyer“ Shavers's chance. Earnie was a respected boxer in the “royal division,“ possessing the hardest punch. His right straight, as well as his right hook, carried terrifying power. Shavers stands ready. It's up to Ali to prove the doubters wrong once again.
