    Tough fight for both, Joe, the better combination puncher, Ali, the faster legs and better jaw. Joe probably better all round due to his great body work against a man who rarely threw a body shot in his career. I see Joe, expertly cutting off the ring and taking Ali out, buy hey, never underestimate Ali.

    Ali outboxes Louis. Louis looked good against guys of his era who had zero footwork and stood in front of him with a crouched back, exposing their chin.

    Ali would be on the bike outpointing Louis from the outside in a boxing clinic. Pretty easy UD 12 win for Ali.

    no. neither liston nor foreman hurt him enough to threaten stoppage. ali always had iron chin, he just fooled around more as a teenager.
