Ever think if Ali could PUNCH??? If Ali could punch, he'd be untouchable, he wouldn't have to wear these guys down, he rarely got hit even in the 70's, to land at will the way he did, then drop a heavy hook or right like Robinson, whew that would be something. Though we never saw Ali at his best, best years he was in retirement, 26,27,28 best years he would have met frazier, still would be able to move and would have cut Frazier to ribbons, it's hard to guess how much better he would have got, would have been just as fast but stronger, more experienced, I think he'd stop Frazier with a merciless barrage by 10. Everyone should watch D'Amato's comments when Ali came back, standing with Dundee he observed where it took one step for him in the 60's to get out of the way it now took two, huge difference when dealing in Nano Seconds.
This is the first boxing match I've ever seen. It was broadcast live on a Saturday afternoon here in the Netherlands. While watching, I became at instant an Ali-fan!

The announcer just nonchalantly takingover the screen at 31:17 gave me a good laugh.
Ali's timing seems off in this fight, as if he's holding back or something…
"ranked number 22 in the top ten" great line, intended or not.
Ali fought this fight one month after the Norton rematch?
And the winner of the most suicide-inducing commentary goes to…
So why did Ali underperform against a low level fighter? Any insight?
He just said Jakarta, Indonesia
make me proud as hell, lol
I'm Indonesian

When Ali weighed between 210 lbs and 217 ilbs he could 'dance' all night long!
