    One of my favorite looks into the Ali toolbox. Here he definitely shows another side of himself and plenty of his amazing skill. Even past his best. There are things that could be improved, as the body punching, but still just so lovely to watch.

    He probably learnt to fight as the shorter man and even weaker man when he was still a little kid in the amateurs.
    That made Ali very versatile, being able to deal with men of all sizes.

    Incredible really ali walked down a much bigger man. Ali would beat are the super heavyweights. From Bowe to Lewis to wlad to fury

    Just looked up bugners height and it says 6,4! No way there's a 1inch difference bugner looks way bigger. Maybe Ali is only 6,2

    Maybe the stance of both fighters + his hair.

    Ali may have been 6'2.
    His listed height on his passport is 6'2.5, reading further into it. His 72 passport had it 6'3 from what I've read, and 74 passport 6'2.5


    But height also depends on how long a fighter is already awake. Which can easily be a whole inch difference.
