Had such an un-noteworthy KO record at the start of his career? His first 10 fights were 9-1 (3 KOS... and all his KOS were by stoppage.. It doesn't look like a slugger's record to me. Then he won most of his fights thereon by KOs.. What was up with that? Did he greatly improve? Did he change his style?

Some would say that the fights after that were fixed by the mob. I think he just greatly improved as a boxer. If you watch some of his earlier fights and then compare that to his later (pre Ali) ones, then he does greatly improve in strength and style.
