    George Chuvalo told me when he fought Ali at the old Maple Leafs Garden, Ali went to the hospital with a busted liver while he went out dancing with his wife.

    I say bad decision making more than the cut. Taking on Fundora on short notice. Continuing the fight with that bad cut instead of getting a NC., taking on Murtazaliev after the war with Fundora, rematching Fundora as part of his rebuilding plan after a bad ass whoopin from Murtazaliev. Some of the worst career decisions I have ever seen a fighter make.
