    Is anyone watching this ?Or seen this ??


    There is an arguement between Ali & looks to be Cus Dematto and they start jabbing each other ..A funny exchange Demotto also told him that even though he beat Floyd Paterson at his best .Ali wouldn't of stood a chance .

    this was before Ali beat Foreman right? basically it was after or before he came back from exile and people still hadn't seen the qualities he displayed post frazier 1, thus his place in history hadn't been determined yet hence why cus goes hard on him.

    yeah, though its a funny exchange good to see great minds in different ways together.

    i call Cus the brenden ingle of the US, he basically trained every fighter who came through his doors the same way, a positive if you get a tyson or a hamed but those types don't always come through the door, he would've struggled to train someone like Ali for example it would be like steward training Hamed they try and mould them and change them into their vision but those fighters attributes require something else
     
  3. I bought a Cassius Clay dvd and it had that on it. Great footage.

    Great documentary.

    Paraphrasing: "So if you were a boxer and I did the shuffle, what would you do?"

    Cus jabs him in the stomach

    "Oh you ain't as stupid as you look."
