    Ellis had the misfortune of being from the same city as the greatest ever.
    But he did go 1-1 vs him as an amateur and was a very good pro. Ran into some tough dudes like Frazier and his boss Ali.
    Amazing how Ali has outlived so many of his foes like Quarry, Patterson, Liston, Frazier, Berbick, Cooper, Norton and now Ellis to name a few
