ali was resting on the ropes like he started doing for the first time v bonavena (never happened in the 60s). frazier fought incredible that nite and so did ali who was out of the ring for 42 months. he was bound to tire in the later rounds and start resting on the ropes so early back after a long lay-off. he didn't need to rest on any ropes in the 60s when his legs were in peak condition.
