    Yeah,Ali was sharp as a razor in the Quarry rematch. Up to that point it was his best display since he came back in 1970. Only bettered by his shape and performances in the Norton II,Frazier II and Foreman fights.

    I don't consider anything particularly wrong with Jerry's fight plan in the above mentioned bout,it was just that Muhammad had an answer for anything he tried.

    Quarry would go to the ropes, Leon would follow and Quarry would chew him up.

    Quarry would broken Spinks down and TKOed him mid rounds. It would have been a fun fight for 3 rounds, then Quarry takes over.

    Complete ditto ditto ditto!
    Have I mentioned that Ali THREW the first fight to Leon (7-0-1 for pete's sake) to get his "3rd title"???
    Quarry eons and world's better than Spinks!

    Quarry by decision. He'd counterpunch the onrushing Spinks. Young Leon was resilent though and Jerry wasn't a really big puncher, I think the fight would last the distance.

    I don't think Ali threw the fight. He tried like hell to take Leon out in the last few rounds and couldn't do it.
