Talk:The distance (boxing)

connotative word choice
What does the word 'ostensibly' mean in the current passage? it really implies something, and if there's no basis isn't it a weasel word? 58.87.137.207 (talk) 15:30, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

May versus Might
"...different strategies may have been used..." "...which may have prevented Louis from retaining..." "...may not have been able to maintain his point lead ..." "...different strategies may have been used..." Is it just me, or am I wrong about so many people saying May when they mean Might? It reminds me of a guy who said "Without the helmet I may have been killed" (I assured him he wasn't). L0ngpar1sh (talk) 20:21, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You're right, might is the past tense of may, so all past events should use might, though not many people make or even known about the distinction. I've made the changes so people can't complain :P Thanks for catching them. — Code  Hydro  20:56, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Frazier-Ali result was absolutely not reversed by 15 vs. 12 rounds
Pure error. Look at wikipedia's own https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight_of_the_Century#Scorecard

Frazier had 7 or more rounds on two of the three cards after 12 rounds. Both a 12 round bout and a 15 would give the same decision outcome.

Search for the word reverse in the article as it stands. It's simply wrong.70.119.177.3 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:45, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

EDIT October 2016: Has no one looked at this? It's indisputably an error. I am not technically qualified to make the change, so one of you will need to do it. Remove the 1971 Ali-Frazier fight from the page; it's erroneously included.24.27.72.99 (talk) 10:54, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

EDIT March 2018: Seriously? No one cares to act upon the pure error of fact described above??76.185.10.9 (talk) 14:54, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
