    I have noticed a weird thing that Ali does in some fights that I don't think I have seen from any other fighter. Any guesses?

    He squeezed in unnatural relations with a waterfowl, but was so fast of hand & %@#! that we never noticed it until super-slow film analysis is deployed?

    In his early fights he used to salute with his right hand when he got tagged, an involuntary action.

    He traced pentagrams with his footwork on the canvas and gave his opponent's corner men the evil eye?

    I am thinking of some of his fights in the 70's.

    It's a really quirky thing Ali does against Bonavena and Mac Foster.

    A wild guess.......Was it praying in his corner before the first bell ?

    No. It's something he does during the action.

    I'm loving this :D I'll be on tenterhooks till I know what it is. I'm going to scan the Bonavena and Mac Foster fights

    Pulling the opponent into the Turnbuckle/through the ropes?
