    Ali looked good in the Berbick fight. He should have gone on a few more years. Underrated effort.

    He looks good in the Berbick fight. Could have been a force for some years to come.

    Mismatch.Ali put on a decent effort against Berbick.

    I think given Ali's medical issues and age he did look relatively good in the Berbick fight and that in kind of a perverse way it was an underrated effort. But no way he should have gone on after that fight. He should have stayed retired after Spinks II.

    If he was sensible he would've called it a day after the pasting he took from Shavers

    I think Ali takes Weaver and could have moved on to take Smith and Berbick... with an outside shot of taking a young Ruddock.

    Can you imagine Foreman-Ali 2 in 1989?!!!

    I think you should make a thread on it.

    I would pick even the broken down decrepit version of Ali in the last five years of his life to beat McNeely

    The only people who prop McNeely up are just trying to convince themselves the PPV was worth it.
