outfought by Ali and Young when planning, wisdom, and vision outweighed a near<br />
equal amount of talent and intestional fortitude on both sides.<br />
Granted, later, Big George with more wisdom and the big picture tanked Moore in<br />
ten to regain, and if he had had the same planning, maturity, and ability to<br />
pace himself in his prime (with his incredible physical ability), he would have<br />
KOed Louis inside nine rounds. Remember, George had tenacious counterpunching<br />
and boxing ability, but preferred to attack. That, in his prime, was his<br />
mantra, and in a few fights, it cost him.<br />
While running a health spa in Houston, I invited George to a workout, just after<br />
the Young fight. What an incredible guy! He had just been rope-a-doped twice,<br />
and still maintained his personality. A quick comment on the rope-a-dope; Ali &<br />
Young used their full talent in conjunction with the parameters that the ring<br />
offers just so they might not miss out on the biggest individual title on the<br />
planet! Sounds smart to me. What do you think?|<br />

the great vote - the biggest yet ! ! So there we have it the Final. Muhammad Ali<br />

of the conditions that where allowed in the past,and were legit at the time.If<br />
they were within the " parameters of the ring" , then I guess I don't a<br />
legitament complaint.I did notice that after the Ali vs Foreman fight there was<br />
alot of attention paid to rope tension among fight managers and safety commision<br />
inspectors after that fight.After the Young vs Ali fight , I've never seen the<br />
rope- a -dope tactic used successfully again.Bob,I expressed myself poorly on<br />
one of my posts.<strong>The</strong> opinion I ment to give was that Ali's heavyweight<br />
championship tenure was damaged at the beginning by the two Liston fights.I'f<br />
I'm wrong about the Mafia and black muslim influence ,then okay I could be<br />
wrong.What about , however,the claims that Liston was much older than he<br />
claimed. I read somewhere that he might have been as old as 50!I's just that<br />
this guy Liston went from crushing guys like Clevelend Williams twice and Floyd<br />
Patterson twice ,to suddenly looking like an old man,chasing Ali without without<br />
a clue.I guess in retrospect,it doesn't matter.No one else of that era could<br />
have even touched Ali anywhy.I would pick the Ali of the Clevelend Williams<br />
fight,which I consider his masterpiece of speed and reflex against a heavy<br />
hitter.{Although I don't know how old Williams was ,I did see a tape of the<br />
fight]This Ali would confuse Louis with his movement and batter him with those<br />
lightning fast combinations and those accurate,lightning fast jabs.Ali would tko<br />
Louis while still on his feet in 10 rounds.<strong>The</strong> heavier, slower, stronger Ali who<br />
fought Joe Frazier at any time during those three fights would have ko'd Louis<br />
in 8 to 10 rounds. |<br />

Tyson is just one way. Both were blessed with fast hands but not particularly<br />
fast feet. Louis would never touch Ali and even if he did, no champ ever took a<br />
punch like he could -- and that includes Jeffries, Marciano, and other iron<br />
men. Probably only Chuvalo was more durable than Ali. To make a long story short<br />
-- Ali by 9th round TKO. In mymind Ali was about as good they get.|<br />
