Look at this incredible head movement from Ali

Oh he will, he surely will, so PLEASE don't encourage the muppet.

 

Didnt Anderson Silva get KNOCKED out recently, by an average fighter....while he was showboating?

 

This was Ali around his peak I think. He was so much better than the others, leaning back and teasing his opponents. Keeping them out of range, but never being out of range himself, dancing rings around them, taunting and in Terrells case, slowly torturing them in a cruel fashion. I don't like this side of Ali and prefer to see Ali / Williams where Ali danced, skipped around then planted his feet and properly Kayoed the guy.

 

What did it accomplish? He was constantly out of position and never once able to counter.

 

Greatest athlete of the 20th century.

 

next to Jim Brown and Wilt Chamberlain.

 

Ali at his absolute best in 1967. Nobody could have beaten that version of him.

 

True. It's a bit overrated as such, but still a nice example of Ali's poise. How casually he does it.

There's also a bit when an ancient Ali shows he still has it against a young Dokes in an exhibition. Ca 1978 I think.

 

a great example of Ali destroying easily and clowning entirely a highly skilled 6 foot 6 monster world champ.

 

That's about the most offense I ever saw Terrell put out.

 

Funny thing is you still get people saying Louis, Tyson, Marciano, Dempsey and other fighters of that calibre could beat that version of him.

Didn't Earnie have a sister Tammy ( i think ) who duetted with Marvin Gaye and other great Motown artists?

 

He would have been open to the left hook if Ernie had it in him.

 

Once Ali caught Ellis with a peach of a right hand in one of the early rounds,the writing was well and truly on the wall.
