"The Made Up Prime Ali"

Before Ali fought Liston he fought nobody and after he beat Liston the only decent fighter he fought was Chuvalo who both Foreman and Frazier destroyed. In his comeback even though he was 28 people claim he was past his prime. So what prime did he have?

Against Doug Jones a 190 pound fighter with a career record 30-10 was that his prime? Getting beat around the ring and most people ring side think he lost [url]http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:22876[/url]

Was his prime against Sonny Banks who floored him with one punch? That fight also shows how easy Ali was to be hit. He kept his hands down extremely low and if Banks didn't have a poor chin he probably could of hurt Ali again.

You could watch his fights with Cooper or Chuvalo and see how easy Ali was to be hit when you didn't try to load up with one punch. That is why Cooper a 190 pound fighter was able to hurt him badly with one punch.

When he came out his exile and lost to Norton 3 times people make excuses. Ali was old even though he and Norton were virtually the same age. If you believe Ali was slowing down then wouldn't Norton slow down as well? Unless Norton was immortal.

Frazier beat Ali because he didn't try to load up with one punch and Ali couldn't handle the pressure. That is why guys like Tyson would of beat Ali as well. Tyson wasn't as tough but he was stronger, hit harder, had faster hand and power in both hands.

The Foreman win was luck as I explain before and Ali knew this and avoided Foreman like the plague. Ali had no probably give anybody else a rematch. If he knew he was a great boxer and could always beat Foreman why not fight him again and make a another huge pay day?

The way you people hero worship some fighters. Lewis gets knocked out so he has a glass chin. Joe Louis got knocked out and knocked down by far lesser fighters and you people have nothing to say. Tommy Morrison gets knocked 3 times and he has a glass chin. Wladimir Klitschko gets knocked out 3 times and knocked down and hurt various others times and it is okay. Foreman got tired in 1 fight and he has horrible stamina. Wlad gets tired all the time and who cares.

Some of you people know what you are talking about. But most people here are clueless. I assume you like boxing because you love to look at guys with out their shirts on. You don't know a damn thing about the sport and you love to keep repeating something you hear. Never smart enough to go check out something on your own and come up with your own opinion.

 

Well that isn't saying much is it? Floyd Patterson was a natural light heavyweight Ernie wasn't anything special to begin with.

 

Weird because I didn't ask you was Morrison a contender. I said people who don't know boxing say he has a glass chin and then defend other people who were knocked out more times by lesser fighters.

 

Well at least you agree slightly with what I typed. But even in the 70s he struggled against every top guy. He didn't dominate any Frazier, Norton, Foreman or Lyle. Not one time in his career did he fight a world class fighter in their primes and just dominate.
