    Thr big guy looks kind of drunk in there. Like somebody might have poisened his water. Falling all over himself. Maybe it was the heat.

    Was Dick Sadler part of Ali's entourage after this fight? That's weird.

    These guys don’t know how to box

    They were doing that thing with their foot and their arm, when they really should’ve been doing that other thing with their foot and their arm.

    Come on down to my gym, I’ll show ya how to hit mitts with combos.

    As many times as I've seen it, never knew what month it occurred! I would've lost on a game show. Uh...February? June?
