    This vid shows how to beat the greatest proving D`Amato was years ahead of his time and years ahead of Dundee, brilliant video.

    That was a really interesting watch, you can just see how much these men loved the sport, real passion and knowledge.

    D'Amato: "As long as you don't hit me"

    Ali: "I'm not gonna hit you ... if I hit you, seven days later you'll be a week-old ghost"

    I've seen AKA Cassius Clay a few times, but these are new clips ... great stuff, and thanks for posting!

    Ali and D'Amato were a great pairing. Much respect on both sides, but nobody was kissing anyone's a$$. Ali would have surely rebelled against Cus' philosophy when it came to training, but I can't help but think his career might have been less punishing if someone as defensive-minded as Cus had some influence in it.
