A Tyrell Biggs el tricampeón mundial y olímpico cubano Teófilo Stevenson siempre lo derrotó. Le ganó en el mundial de Múnich 1982, donde le quebró 2 costillas. Y en el tope bilateral de Reno en 1984, le ganó por puntos, provocándole una caída a Biggs en el tercer round. Biggs fue campeón olímpico en los Ángeles 1984, porque Stevenson no fue a esas olimpiadas, porque Cuba no participó, por boicot contra Estados Unidos.

Stevenson was trained to fight as an amateur for amateur fights. If he had been trained as a professional and to fight professionally, he could have been another Ali !
Fighting Stevenson was like fighting a Pro. The dude was 31 years old and in his prime. The Cuban fighters were not allowed to go pro. 72, 76 & 80 Gold Medalist. Stevenson was no doubt huge in Cuba and content with his standing. It would have been interesting to see him at the Pro level. With the exception of the Communist blocked Countries Stevenson was a lot older than the majority of his opponents. He was a Man fighting boys. That's why it sucks that he never went Pro. I mean he's knocking out John Tate in 76 Olympics and Tate 3 years later is fighting for and Winning the WBA Version of the Heavyweight title. It's just a shame as he got older he was never able to go out on his on but then again if Don King or Bob Arum would have gotten a hold of him he probably wouldn't have made the money you think he would have. He probably would have went back broke. So in hindsight he probably was more richer in Cuba.
He was fighting for cuba not money and was happy with it. Best ever super heavy weight boxer from cuba was ballado he would beat him. But dies too fast
Chicken $hit that’s what he is he needed to show himself but he knew he only went 3 rounds fights and he tired anyway 15rds no way he’d make it if you’re the best you gotta beat the best Tate and Biggs and Clark and all the other kids he beat but he didn’t beat the best so he a Amateur good call brother
Ali would have beaten Teofilo. If Foreman, Shavers, Norton, and Frazier couldn’t beat Ali (though Frazier did it once in three fights), Teofilo would have had a nightmare on his hands. Teofilo was a great fighter, but he wasn’t Ali. Holmes would have beaten Teofilo, too.
Stylistically, Ali would have been a terrible match up for Stevenson. Stevenson was too upright, dropped his left all the time, and his footwork was not great. Ali would start out jabbing the shit out of Stevenson, and then moving away easily when Stevenson tried to unload. Any time Stevenson was off balance, or careless, he'd eat a right cross. A puncher's chance at best - and Ali had faced bigger power guys.
Tyson and Frazier? Earnie Shavers would’ve knocked out Teofilo Stephenson on his back laying him up right on the center of the ring. If you would’ve told Earnie Shavers that he was going to get in the ring with Stephenson for 3 rounds, Shavers with an a smile would’ve said “3 rounds? Great, that’s all I need. Because Shavers now does not have to worry about having stamina.
Esse cubano tinha muita técnica e a envergadura era muito alta! Era rápido e a mão pesava muito! Arrisco dizer que ele poderia fazer frente ao Ali tranquilamente. Agora querer um confronto entre ele e Tyson não seria possível: gerações muito distantes.
Interesting to see how little Biggs developed his style as a professional. I know there were very good reasons why he was pushed into a title shot so quickly, but he was definitely not given enough time to learn a pro style - he relied on natural ability. Enough to squeak past the likes of Bey, but Tyson....
@@therumbleinthejunglee Real Deal? who did Stevenson Beat that was great? Nobody you're predicting..not on facts...You got to beat the best to be the best he never fought nobody great the Russian beat him twice...That's all ...Plan and simple.judge on facts not predictions.

@@chrisslaughter5552 shows how clueless you are he couldn’t come compete in America because the politics going on with Fidel Castro and Cuba siding with the Russians. Even Big George Foreman said Teófilo would become champion. He wasn’t scared of nobody.
Stevenson was probably closer to 6'6 inches.He was 3 inches above Ali when Ali went to Cuba.His measurements were probably 6'6 and 225 as a youngster and at 233-235 at his last days.
In their prime , Dempsey, Louis, Marciano, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Tyson, Bowe, Holyfield, Lewis, not unbeatable but very rarely lost. As I said….in their prime.
Es war nicht klug, nicht ins Profilager zu wechseln. Er hätte zu seiner Zeit sich und seinem Land Kuba sehr viel Ruhm und Ehre, sowie Geld gebracht. Er hätte sie ALLE geschlagen.
Well, Dundee thought he had his next Ali in Biggs but it just didn’t work out. You know, stuff happens when you take too many punches, sometimes just taking one ruins a boxer’s day.
Not a shame at all. No need to fight in America professionally a place where values ethics and morality is unheard of and where money is the only God. No I am glad he didn't soil his character and that of Cuba by sinking to the low level of Western fake institutions.
@@trupa6940 Fidel no tienen las cojones. That's why Stevenson never came here to fight Ali. Fidel knew he would have either lost and shamed Cuba or defected and shamed Cuba.
Ali was like a lot of great ( not the greatest) Heavyweight Champions… Most great Champs have about a 4-8 year shelf life until they age and the next great Champ comes along. The 80s and 90s had the most tough Heavyweights.
I think Teofilio was a giant ethically to remain an amateur boxer throughout his career. Don't know of another boxer or indeed an athlete that could refrain from professional competition. His career was sublime as Stella to maintain. Let's celebrate a man with scruples with a mighty punch from Cuba.
call biigs fragile call him weak .. call him whatever .. just don't call him late to the fight ..cause that fool fought evvvverybody .. fuckin everybody ..you name them he fought them .. win or lose .. can't take that way from the brother

Damian was a top ten contender in the 80s don’t disrespect Francisco like that. Remember he was one of few boxers that gave Stevenson a L list is not long. No fighter in 70s wanted to do an exhibition fight with Stevenson! Not one. Stevenson back in 70s despite being an amateur was always thought to be one of top three heavyweights. Why would a fighter do an exhibition with a good probability of ending like Biggs. Stevenson right may have been strongest punch of any fighter in 70s So many fighters avoided him. He led life like royalty in Cuba. Why would you leave for the great unknown. Particularly when your family is there.
Fuck comunism, they turn the athletes in slaves without salary, all those cuban boxers might be professional and earn his own money to live in freedom.

It was unfair to compare Stevenson with those guys who went on to become world champions. Fact of the matter is it was Ali in '60; Frazier in '64 ; Foreman in '68; and Stevenson in '72. So there's a damn good chance had he turned pro there probably wouldn't have been a Leon Spinks..or a Larry Holmes?
@@thomashahn631 Holmes didn't know shit in '72. Took him 6 years to become decent. Do you know how much Stevenson could have absorb in 6 years? Hell even John Tate became a champion...and he couldn't carry the Cuban's jock-strap!

Amazing that someone 6'5" could successfully switch styles to box like Tyson or Frazier, going low and leaping into the hook.

It is unbelievable how Stevenson made this left uppercut in the liver!
You can tell that Biggs watched a lot of Ali tapes. He moved like Ali, but not enough, unfortunately.
He didnt have Ali's chin or mental toughness, or uncanny sense of distance and timing.
He was not Cassius Clay by the way renamed Md. Ali. Kindly do not bring that legends name with such boxers who suffered heavy defeats .
Biggs was nothing like Ali. Give over

Biggs doesn't look like a legitamate 6'5".Stevenson was the first to damage that fragile ego of his unfortunately.
Stevenson was probably closer to 6'6 inches.He was 3 inches above Ali when Ali went to Cuba.His measurements were probably 6'6 and 225 as a youngster and at 233-235 at his last days.

Drugs, ego and rushed pro career. Story of Tyrell.
Can't imagine what would have been if Stevenson were allowed to turn pro.
Azz whoop
Holme would have made Stephenson his girlfriend.
Well..i can imagine i think : see Biggs was a pro champ,Damiani was a pro champ too and Stevenson was a class better then them...
This was the toughest guy Stevenson ever fought against. You guys make a big deal about Stevenson. He was above average at best.
Teofilo choose not to go pro. Although he fought under the Cuban flag, he was originally from Jamaica 🇯🇲 and could have turned pro had he wanted to.
The choice to not go pro was made by the State, not him.
Whaaaaat? I didn't know that these guys faced off. Oh wow. This should be good
BIGGS wouldve beat the shit outta that man in the Pros

As great as Stevenson was, he will never be considered among the true greats because he beat up on kids over the years and never turned pro.

Biggs was always overrated and had really big mouth. Never liked him.
It was unfair to compare Stevenson with those guys who went on to become world champions. Fact of the matter is it was Ali in '60; Frazier in '64 ; Foreman in '68; and Stevenson in '72. So there's a damn good chance had he turned pro there probably wouldn't have been a Leon Spinks..or a Larry Holmes?
Stevenson dropped his left a ton ..... he'd have to change that habit against Holmes.
@@thomashahn631 Holmes didn't know shit in '72. Took him 6 years to become decent. Do you know how much Stevenson could have absorb in 6 years? Hell even John Tate became a champion...and he couldn't carry the Cuban's jock-strap!
@@rayhoward9644 He's 31 years old here - not 21. He has some bad habits that would get him killed by the elites. Okay, he's much better then big John Tate - so what?
@@thomashahn631 Holmes was born in '49 -same year as Foreman. Olympic records say Stevenson was born in '72. What? You know more than they do? Fact of the matter is with 6 years of training and learning he would have minced their asses
@@thomashahn631 Make that '52
