    Yeah. He could have knocked him out. Henry wasn't the most durable guy. But he could always give stylistic problems to Ali I guess.

    I have seen both fights but have a bad memory. I believe I remember Ali was winning two close fights when they were stopped. Ali went down in both fights, am I correct?

    You are confusing boxing with catfight.

    Ali played with cooper.

    Only reason cooper made it to the cut ending was because Ali wanted to hit his prediction.

    The rules are simple. Opening the cut with a legal punch and working the cut is the legit way to win. Althought its not beauty.

    Nope, they rigged Clay a new glove so he could cut Cooper. There was no way they were going to let Clay lose that night or some kneecaps were to be broken.
