Something Ali did in fights that was really strange!

Just that he mimics his opponent's style, going flat footed and holding his hands high; it's like he's taking the **** but he looks really strange doing it.

 

I thought you were going to say he pretended to be blinded.

 

Ah........! I see what you mean. He always pulled a funny face while doing it.

 

Has anyone noticed the continuity error in the film,The Greatest 1977 ?

During the montage of some of the fights Muhammad had between 1971-73.

During the Joe Bugner bit,it was a clip of their second fight in 1975 that was shown when it should have been the first.

 

He did it against Zora Folley in 1967.

 

Creating a cult of personality so strong and deeply entrenched that the nostalgists evaluate his losses and struggles as some sign of greatness as opposed to an obvious weakness or flaw.

A privilege afforded to only a few American boxers.

 

wat are you talking about? its just a thread posing a question about alis habits. its not another "Wlad is the greatest ever" thread

 

A little harsh Herol!
However, many of the nut-hugging Wlad-ers fail to consider he wouldn't have been the speciman he was in the 20's-30's-40's and the old guys would have been different in the 80's-90's-2000's.

 

I posted a comment about Ali in an Ali thread and it somehow gets linked to another boxer:huh

 

u trying to make out that this thread benefits ali when it clearly does nothing of the sort..

 

Exactly. I have been critical of Ali at times on here, while acknowledging his class. It's just something I noticed that Cosell never commented on and I thought it might be fun to bring it up.
