    This ^

    Ali of 66/67 should be favoured over any other HW including other great versions of himself.

    :good

    Look at how Ali just outclasses Liston in round 3. His punches were fast and he was just slipping everything.

    1964 Clay runs.
    66/67 Ali dances.

    Dull-fight.

    At the end they'd shake hands and admit that the other one was the second greatest AND prettiest fighter in the world.

    John Maff,

    You noticed that too.
    Eddie put up $10,000, if Cassius could go 10-Rounds with him, in a closed sparring session, in 1962.

    The Young Clay turned it down.
    He could have bought another pink-ish Cadillac, and given it too his
    eventual new bride SONJI.....

    Instead, he picked on an old man Archie Moore,,,,,,,,,,:-((
