8:36 -- ka-BOOM
9:45 -- Ka-ThOlp
My question to you is: Were the two hits landed of equal power, or did one of the hits have more power?

The Mental Genius of Muhammad Ali:
Muhammad ali was a mental mastermind in that fight using reverse phychology. His rubbery legs routine made earnie shavers think twice about hitting him, even though Ali was REALLY hurt. He basically cond shavers into thinking he was faking it.
We know two things about shavers:
1. Suspect Chin
2. Poor stamina.
after 9:45 in the video, when ALi does rubbery legs shavers must have been thinking two things:
1. If I go in for the kill, Ali could counter punch me and knock me out. All it would take is a right hand to my chin.
2. This is a 15 round fight, I must conserve my energy, we are only in the early rounds. I can't put pressure on Ali because I am not Joe frazier.
Basically Shavers was caught between a rock and a hard place. This video proves that Ali is the mastermind of mental traps, which basically render you helpless. It is amazing how he does it. It was also part of his style adaptation after the 3 year lay off.
Roy jones jr was probably more athletic than Ali in his prime. After Ruiz, Roy jones did not have the mental capacity to adpat his style, nor did he have the physical durability.
