    Two tall, slick technical boxers with good hand-speed, footwork & long jabs. That'll always be a problem for Ali - Prime or not.

    OK, Il bite.

    I could see Bert Cooper giving him a better fight, than some might expect.

    1 st name to pop in my head also(Tim Witherspoon) Also , Chris Byrd believe it
    are not. Those two would be more difficult for Ali than
    quite a few ATG'S.
