Ali to me was just fooling for the cameras, pointing to Tyson & then saying IF he hit me!
I remember years on, & Ali's condition had deteriorated he was asked the same question & Ali drew a pic of two stickmen, one on the deck & the other over the top of him with arms raised, with the name Tyson & an arrow pointing to the stickman on the floor, & Ali with an arrow pointing to the guy with the arms raised
