Boxing history if all controvertial decisions went as you think they should

Okay, my points still stands even in your own opinion then.

Ali didn't look nearly as bad against Norton nor Shavers as he did against Young. AND the freshest version of Ali in those three instances was... dun dun dun, the Young fight!

Ali was six months removed from the third fight with Frazier where he stopped him. He hadn't even gotten him off his feet in the prior two fights. Hardly the mark of a incapable fighter, or a "shot" one.

The biggest fault you can find in Ali at the time of the Young fight was his weight. He was chubby.

But that didn't stop him from making a young Micheal Dokes look like an idiot in an exhibition, did it?

And that's exactly what Young did in return. Make Ali look like an idiot. He simply fought a fight that Ali couldn't win, and I think he deserves credit for it.
