BEST OF THE ALL-TIME HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT(Boxing)1966 New Vinyl-Muhammad Ali. Condition is "New". Shrink has some tears but still sealed & new

"The idea of a dream "championship tournament" between the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time was conceived by Murry Woroner, president of Great Fights, Inc., and of Woroner Productions of Miami, Florida, following an hours long discussion between friends of who really was the best heavyweight in history. ... The fighters were rated by the world's leading fight authorities on 129 variables per man. The variables included speed, ability to deliver various punches, accuracy, courage, agility, ability to avoid and to take various punches, killer instinct and others. Then the blow-by-blow of every fight these men fought in the prime of their careers was fed into the computer, and each of their opponents was rated. ... This formula along with the necessary math and computer program was developed by Dr. E.C. Yowell ... and Henry W. Meyer. ... Participating in the ratings of the fighters were Nat Fleischer, publisher of Ring magazine and Hank Kaplan, ex-president of the World Boxing Historians Association. The pairings for the tournament were made by Chris and Angelo Dundee ... The computer readout was converted into the blow-by-blow broadcasts by producer Woroner and his selection for blow-by-blow announcer Guy LeBow. ... Dream referee for the series was Ruby Goldstein ..."--Page [3] of album cover.
