    They never changed the glove. It was good cornerwork from Angelo. Where did Ali himself cheat though?? He didn't, But as Henry said if that left hook had landed 20 sec earlier might have been a different story.
    Say what you want I still believe Ali is the greatest heavyweight champion EVER

    Did you not hear what Dundee said? He cut the gloves when there was nothing wrong with them to give Ali the extra time he needed to recover from the knockdown which changed the outcome of the fight. They both robbed an honest man from victory and the huge purse which would have followed. Real legends don't cheat, let alone rob a man blind. Ali was complicit in this as he did not protest against what his trainer was doing, in fact I'm sure he was more than grateful

    And how can Ali be the greatest heavyweight champion when he himself admitted he he didn't know if he could beat Marciano, because Marciano never stopped moving forward? Ali mentioned about the fact that people who fought and failed battling Marciano, had blood vessels in their arms completely burst wide open from attempting to block his unforgiving punches.
