Who gave Ali a hardest fight??

[bobbyjones]

the liston and foreman fights were not ali's hardest fights. the guy who gave him the most trouble was doug jones, who he fought in 1963, cassius clay (as he was then) barely escaped with a 10 round decision.

really? never heard of this fight how did he fight him?

Didn't Ali himself said that his third with Frazier was the toughest fight of his life, he gave everything he had and if Frazier didn't quit in the 14th he had no gas left in the tank?

Did I heard that or it was just a dream?

Exactly (beside Frazier didin't want to quit but his traineer gave up the fight), that should cut off any further speculations.

yes your right mann
the George Foreman was also a tough fight, but ali pulled it off

foreman was a little bit harder than liston, but the hardest has to be joe frazier, and george chuvallo who wouldn't give up...

it was at the garden, jones was a good fighter with a decievingly patchy record. clay got hurt in the first from a right hand, hurt jones in the second, and after failing to stop jones in the forth (as he had predicted) jones came on and won the fifth,sixth,seventh and eighth rounds. clay dug his heels in in the nineth and tenth to win a close decision 5-4, 1 even. it was'nt a popular decision and there was debris thrown into the ring afterwards. jones wanted a rematch but never got one.
