@elchapo9347 You aren't a boxing fan, are you? Ali's defense was remarkable. Where do you think "Float like a butterfly sting like a bee" came from? In his early yrs NO ONE could hit him. It wasn't until he came back after the Vietnam fiasco, where he lost some speed that he began to eat punches. He faught Larry Holmes and Trevor Berbick (a true tragedy), which were guys who faught, not one, but two generations after primetime Ali.

@elchapo9347 You're referring to their careers after their prime, especially Ali's. When Ali faught Homes it was almost as rediculous as when Chuck faught Tito. Clearly, you're ignorant and only responsed will insults, because you lack knowledge; are too lazy to read about basic historical facts; and become triggered by emotion, which is exactly what females do. You have the mentality of a cheeseburger. So go ahead, let's hear some more of your brilliance.

@scarface5487 During his prime, Ali lost his boxing license, due to converting to Islam -- he refused to serve in the Vietnam war because it went against his beliefs. A lot of folks HATED HIM OVER THAT. I'm not sure, but I think he was gone from the sport for about 3 yrs. A lot of people claim he was not the same after he came back: he had lost that intangible thing that made him such a dominate force. The Frazier, Forman and Norton days was a less-than version of Ali. So he was essentially fighting these guys past his prime. Granted, he was only two yrs older than Smokin Joe, but he had more fights, yrs of sparring under his belt, and the yrs collecting ring rust. People never watch the days of Ali in his 20s. He was un-fucking-touchable. That version of Mohammed in my view, is the greatest heavyweight of all time.

I could be wrong, but I've never seen a study that shows weed to be "good" for your brain. Yes, it does help alleviate the symptoms of some mental disorders; can be beneficial in palliative care; and used as an antiemetic, especially w cancer patients who under radiation and/or chemo. I smoked at the age of 14-28 and loved it -- seemed to foster a creative side, in terms of playing guitar. But w memory recall? Hell no haha! And certain forms of memory recall affect our intellegents: that's a fact -- no longer debated. However, I guess it can have positive effects on other types of intelligence, such as musical, kinesthetic, visual, etc. When I smoke now, which is rare (it's been a few yrs now) it makes me at least 3/4 retarded. 😐+🌿=😵 Unless you need it to help remedy an ailment or symptom of some type, it's just a party drug. And I mean it's psychoactive properties, not CBD products.

@J.C.117 Because he was past his prime. That's why. "If you were a boxing fan you would know" that. ANY FIGHTER who relied on speed, especially at HW is not going to be the same after such a long layoff. The best version of Ali was was never seen, due to the Vietnam fiasco. When he returned, he lost step and by '76 he was a totally different fighter. He was slower, which is not an overly perceptive insight if you ask me. Of course his footwork was amazing. I'm not trying to act like a bitch, but pointing out that Ali had unparalleled footwork is no "inner secret" among boxing aficionados. I've been watching boxing since the 70s -- understanding what made Ali great is rather obvious: he didn't move like a heavyweight and had a granite chin, period. So yes, he relied heavily on footwork. Later in his career he relied heavily on slipping punches, not controlling distance and threw A LOT of jabs; no longee was his footwork as effective -- he lost a step. Think about it, Ali faught 13 times before the 2nd rematch w Frazier. He was already entirely different after that fight. Guys faught SO OFTEN back then. He had way too much mileage by '67, especially considering that he relied so much on speed in his best yrs.

So yes, he relied heavily on footwork. Later in his career his approach was geared more around slipping punches, not controlling distance and threw A LOT of jabs; no longer was his footwork as effective -- he lost a step. Think about it, Ali had 13 times before the 2nd rematch w Frazier. He was already entirely different by the 2nd fight. At one point, Ali faught 15 times in 2 yrs. You don't see that anymore. He had way too much mileage by '67. We never should have seen his last 10 fights.
