    Like he did Bonavena, Lyle, Frazier, Jones and Norton? Nope, it’d be a fight.

    It would be a great fight, but Mike would start slowing down after 5 rounds or so. Once he assumes that cautious, can't-knock-him-out-right-early style he gets into even more trouble with Ali's jab and left uppercut. He is staggering badly but quite game when he walks into an ugly lead right and gets stopped in 8 at the very outside.
