If the Bulls' season series with the Bucks was a prize fight—and many wanted it to be after Grayson Allen's flagrant foul injured Alex Caruso in the first meeting in January—the Bulls would be behind on all the cards and facing a unanimous decision loss.
So when the teams open the NBA first round series in Milwaukee Sunday, the Bulls likely have to go for the knockout.
Which against the defending NBA champions would be Ali-Liston, Spinks-Ali, Schmeling-Louis or Douglas-Tyson. It could be the talk of the sports world.
We know the recent Bulls/Bucks history with the reigning four-time Central Division champions having swept the Bulls 4-0 this season and won 16 of the last 17 between the teams.
