    Just about any Napoles or Sanchez bout. They'd actively chase the lead looking for opportunities.

    Ali very Foreman. People seem to forget, Ali battered Foreman that night, guy had no respite, it's amazing he stayed up as long as he did.

    You're exactly right about Ali battering George ,most people think Ali just laid on the ropes till the last round. Ali dug his toes into the mat and sat down on more hard right hands than he ever threw in any fight. He turned Foremans head around on several occasions

    Absolutely, Max was setting a trap putting his weight back, putting the target just out of distance and having Louis reach. It was frustrating Joe. The first time he got hurt, Louis hung the jab out, almost posting Max, and got stung badly over it. From there Max took his chances at a fire fight. And Joe kept dropping that left too low and was getting banged over the top. Max was just playing yo-yo with that left. Great stuff.
