    For me the only ones that come to mind are the Toronto Five and Ali-Dokes. Any others?

    You don't think that was a pretty entertaining exhibition?

    In all the movies and books I’ve read of Ali I’ve never heard of this. Will check it out
    Lol started watching it and never knew that’s where that Ali gif came from with him dodging the shots

    Liston-Terrell because Liston fought in defensive mode like Ali and circling with jabing which was very nice but unusual to see
    Baer-Levinski
    Tyson-Tillis/Broad
    Ali-Dokes

    Hearns-McClellan circa 1989...tommy looked flamboyant leveraging in the body shots with velocity.

    Duran-Benn 1988 ...Benn seems to be going hard at it and looking goof.fat duran shows incredible skills,pivots...to take over.

    A problem with a lot of old 1980s footage in the gym is its poor grainy quality (when uploaded on youtube at least :))

    Dokes-Ali 1977 though is tremendous...fascinating in its own way..to show the terrible sudden decline in Ali after 1977...is the 1979 lyle alzado -Ali exhibition confrontation.

    The Ali-Dokes exhibition aired on ABC's Wide World of Sports because the Don King / Ring US Championship tournament was cancelled due to records & ratings fixing.

    Anyone know if there's film of the Ali-Doug Jones "rematch" exhibition? Here's what I have in my files:
    October 27, 1966 - Louisville, KY - Muhammad Ali boxes a six-round exhibition with Doug Jones. UPI reports that Ali toyed with Jones and at no point did Jones land a solid punch. UPI gave Ali all six rounds.

    As discussed in the forum here previously, Joe Louis fought several exhibitions late in his career that were pretty much actual fights.
