    Prediction and outcome...

    When they queried me on the Cooper fight, I responded with SHAKESPEAREAN THRIFT, They asked me "what round?" and I told them, Henry...in the fifth!"

    CASSIUS CLAY POEM, WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BEFORE HE STOPPED HENRY COOPER IN THE 5TH ROUND BACK IN 1963.

      Clay predicted he would stop Liston in 8... they stopped it between the 7th and 8th... he also predicted (Archie) Moore in Four...and it happened

        He probably could have gotten rid of Moore in 90 seconds. Clay waited around for the 4th round to KO him. Kinda like if Mike Tyson would have predicted a 3rd round KO of David Jaco and then didn't throw a punch the 1st two rounds and then opened up and KOed him in the 3rd.

              Clay predicted almost all his fights before he became champion. He was nearly always right. The only one that I remember he got wrong was the decision over Doug Jones.

              I positively remember that he predicted the rounds correct of Miteff and Banks.

                  Ali before exile was like Pre-Crisis Superman. You just ain't going to beat him. Tunney and WladOwns can talk all they want. Both of the Klit brothers would have got their asses beat.
