    But yeah, you kicked his butt on that occasion.
    it was.

        it was quite humerous to look back at the time when me and butterfly pretty much hated each other...i dont think ive had beef with anyone on this site since

            fly is right thought, those numbers dont make sense, why did ali lose 13 pounds for the Cooper fight?

              Nah, that was a question directly related to Ali & Dundee's very first meeting.

              And yeah, apparently I did only ask two questions, but still...Butterfly got more right than you did, as did Kid Achilles.

                because a prime ali is not as big as many portray him to be.



                ali in the rematch vs liston in 1965 weighed just 206lb


                ali in 1966 in rematch vs cooper weighed 201lb


                ali in 1966 in london fight weighed 209lb


                ali in 1966 in karl mildenberger fight weighed 203lb



                THESE ARE FACTS. so stop denying them.

                  Ali's prime was 66-67, he was not in his prime in 63. Irrespective of his weight, the prime i identified is where he had reached physical maturity. Ali may have been 203 once in 66', the next fight against cleveland williams (the point where most historians noted he had started to peak or was in his 'prime') he was 213 and he remained around that weight for the latter half of 1966 and the whole of 67.

                      the best ali youll probably ever see was the ali from liston 1 to folley. no hw ever could touch him at that point...that being said, Ali the night of the rumble beats any hw in history as well
