Ali as the aggressor

Yet many published writers have done exactly that, having failed to study the sort of footage we've been able to take the time to enjoy and discuss on this thread. If the 220 pound Ali of the Dunn fight had taken on Young in an immediate rematch, Jimmy would have gone the distance again, but nobody would be arguing about who the rightful winner was.

And of course Muhammad was certainly pre prime for Daniels, and many believe Ali didn't hit his stride before 1964 and Liston.

 

There are too many instances in his career that disprove that.

 

Go to 5.45 in this clip to see Ali duking it out with a powerful, agressive fighter.

I concur with the above. Good post.

 

Ive always felt, that the Bruno that fought Oliver Mccall and Mike Tyson the second time, was Muscle bound..and not a functional athlete.

Against Lennox Lewis, this was Frank Bruno's best ever shape for a fight.

Against Oliver Mccall he was just more experienced and wise inside the ring.
