    I think the best weapon Ali had left by this point was his aura, and this influenced many, including opponents, judges, media, fans...

    This is not a genuine Ali interview, the language is all wrong; it is not how Ali speaks at all. I suspect Pepe knows this, he may even have written it himself.

    Pepe is it not possible for you to actually contribute an opinion? Any fool can cut and paste stuff from the internet.

    Excellent point,,,,,,,,,,and very well-stated.

    By all accounts, the scoring officials were frightened to score an
    'Even Round' when Muhammad Ali defended his Championship, in
    fear of being ridiculed by the Champion.

    Mark Grogin a sportswriter, who contributed to Sports Illustrated tried
    to get Muhammad to state that, but he wouldn't.

    Oh believe me he's a hater. His whole agenda on here is anti Ali even when Ali isn't even mentioned in his posts! However I must admit they're entertaining!

    More of Muhammad Ali with Mark Grogin,

    "Kenny didn't really surprise me with anything. I knew he would be
    strong, but I was surprised that his speed wasn't there. He wasn't
    as quick with the jab as he was when we first fought. I saw it coming,
    and I thought I did a good job of avoiding it. People forget, that even
    though I'm older, Kenny is older too. You know, this wasn't the 1973
    Ken Norton I was fighting, this was a guy 3-years older and 15 lbs.
    heavier.'

    'Alot of people don't even know that Kenny is 33 years-old. There's alot
    of age in his legs, and he can't spring around like he did before.'

    All BS. No chance this is a real Ali interview. Pepe does not know what he is talking about. I was at one time an Ali hater but grew up. Pepe should try to grow up also.

    The 'truth' hurts, doesn't it.

    Muhammad Ali, 'Ken Norton deserves a rematch, now get me Lorenzo Zanon, and pass the pasta.'

    Since the question has been asked 10 times with no answer, it would appear to not be real. Good fiction writing for the anti-Ali crowd though.

    Norton got robbed in second and third fights. I think Ali is most overrated athlete in history, not just boxing. That being, I still think source for quotes, or at least some idea of who Mark Grogin is, should be posted. If this is from a Sports Illustrated article, don't dick people around, say it, and tell which issue.
