Will there be a 160 pound man in the next 3 decades who could beat Ali head to head?

    I like this fight too. Some vintage jabbing by Ali in this fight, especially in the 2nd half of the bout. I like a lot of Ali's 'comeback before title' fights actually, his punch output is really high in many of them, and often higher than during his first title reign, and he's certainly throwing more power punches (due to him moving around less of course, but I typically find it better to watch, personally) and these fights I find a lot more repeat-viewable than most of the defences during his 2nd title reign.

    Although it was always interesting that Dundee referred to Ali as 'Clay' numerous times when he was in Ellis' corner during the fight's build-up- obviously something Ali didn't mind if it was said by people he was comfortable with (or if it helped the gate).
