    No. Ali blocked and tried to evade punches. Didn't absorb a ton on the ropes I recall. Maybe in some of his last fights.

    You guys should watch Shavers vs Williams. Roy did a fantastic job fighting on the ropes

    Ali didn't urinate blood after the Foreman fight. I believe it was after Chuvalo 1. All Ali got from his fight with George was a mouse under his eye which he said was from a thumb.
