    Can't remember it. May have to rewatch then.
    I'm pretty sure he was asking me, but it's almost 3am here so that won't be getting done until tomorrow.

    Terrell, Floyd 1 and Liston 1 are the ones where he showed the most ability, I'd say. The Williams performance looks fantastic, but it's a bit hard to know just what to make of that since Williams was so far gone.

    The London fight is another where Ali looked great, but the quality of opponent wasn't the greatest. The fact is that Ali looked sharp and in shape for all his title fights in the 60's.

    He'd never reach this standard in the 70s, even though some of those fights are of great historical significance. His best performances in the 70s were probably Frazier rematch, Foreman, Norton rematch, FOTC, Quarry rematch and Manilla.
