    Nine pages in, and I have to be the first to mention Chuck Wepner?
    Look at how the heavyweight Willie Pep makes that two footed klutz
    Ali miss a right hand and spin completely around, at 5:51. (Earlier in
    the match, that clumsy fool embarrassed himself by tripping backwards
    over his own two feet.)
