    Ali was not at his best because of the exile. Inactivity for 3 years hurts.

    I said near their best. And Ali was in superb condition and had already fought 18 rounds since coming back.

    Furthermore, Ali was better in the 70s. He was every bit as quick in the Quarry rematch, with the added benefit of being smarter and tougher.

    Quarry, Bonavena.

    Ali wasn't H2H No. 1 in his own age nevermind all history.

    No he was not. He was at his best in the 60s especially between 1964-1967. He was unbeatable. Speed speed and even more speed.

    Don’t mistake Ali for your hero B-Hop.

    He was not unbeatable, and he was still unbelievably quick in the early seventies. Regardless, there's no point arguing. FOTC Frazier beats any Ali as clearly as he did the one he actually fought.

    Funny, I've often told people that I thought Ali was better in the 70s, but nobody agrees with me.

    Nobody does.
    Hopkins got smarter with age and fought into his 40s, unlike Ali who was "past prime" at 30 and braindamaged at 38.
    60s Ali fought easier opponents.

    What a cohesive and we'll thought out argument. I'm in awe of its sophistication and raw gravity.

    I'm sure I do know nothing about boxing. It's not like I'm well on my way become a boxing official, and full time training at a professional gym.
