    You know BoB Box, When Ali entered the ring that night, he looked overweight and pudgy, there were times that he tried to use The Rope a Dope but his challengers after beating George Foreman were wise to Ali's tactics. I think that we were seeing the beginning of the end for Ali, remember this fight along with the Coopman farce were post Manila. I think Ali left a lot of himself that night in Manila against Joe Frazier. That fight was a life and death struggle.
