    That is what "no training" does to a boxer. In his (short) prime he was the best and the most feared(!).

    (Say Ali? anybody??)

        Ali.

        'The Greatest' doesn't suit him half as well as 'The Louisville Lip' does.

        And i don't think he would have beat Foreman if it wasn't for the crippling heat of Africa. Ali couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag. The guy fell down exhausted.

          The heat? Ali was fighting in the same conditions. It was his fault that Foreman blew his wad in the first couple of rounds.

            Well maybe it was his fault, continually talking to Foreman, making him mad and all.

                  Hit that right on the head, But all he does is whine and pulls out "come from behind" victorys. In Ruiz's fights, you see more hugging then you do punching. Like he deserves a belt.
