    Dundee was apparently a magician when it came to fixing bad cuts and stuff. I read an interview with the former lhw champion Slobodan Kacar. He said when he fought Eddie Mustafa Muhammad for the title he got a nasty cut but Dundee fixed it like nothing. He went on to win of course. Anybody remember Kacar btw? He comes from my country.

      He said it was during the Shavers fight, Shavers landed a big shot that buckled his legs early and he said it was like he was fighting in a haze for the rest of the fight.

          never heard Ali say that before... Norton claimed hitting Ali to the body was like hitting a sack of cement

              Ali also displayed hostility before the third fight with Norton I seem to recall. When you watch him enter the ring, he has a grimace on his face that says "I don't like this guy and I came here to kick his ass!" Which he failed to do however.
