Track and Field / Boxing parallel...

[79.]

As boxing is my favourite sport with track,
I was just thinking about drawning a parallel
between some glorious legends from these two
major sports:
(please, don't take it seriously):
Tommie SMITH would be Muhammad ALI
Ben JOHNSON would be Mike TYSON
Carl LEWIS would be Ray LEONARD
Linford CHRISTIE would be Thomas HEARNS
Maurice GREENE would be Marvin HAGLER
Jesse OWENS would be Sugar ROBINSON
Michael JOHNSON would be Roy JONES
Harry Butch REYNOLDS would be Virgil HILL
Jim THORPE would be Rocky MARCIANO
...

We can do the same with basket-ball, soccer,
base-ball, American football, tennis...
