As an eleven year old (1971) I can well remember "Smokin Joe" putting Ali on the deck in the last round. All the big fights were broadcast live on the BBC back then. :y :y

Agreed. I think he implemented the wrong tactics against the punching preacher though... ;)

Alot probably said the same when they had fought Ali. Thing was he got in their heads before the fights then backed it up once in there. People like Prince Nazzem and David Haye in my opinion just can't multi task like Ali :D
