[Southpaw16BF]

Here is some footage of various Ali sparring sessions, and you will also see him and a 1981 Thomas Hearns in the ring together, which is pretty rare.

I like his preperation for the Foreman fight with Holmes. He used the ropes to effect in sparring, while soaking up the punishment from Holmes. Knowing Foreman is slower and would tire quicker, all he had to do was get him out of there.
