Best rounds in Ali's career?

[habZ]

some of the taunting against jerry quary in the second fight was good - Ali win by TKO

[DuncanJL]

nice. thats the kind of insight im lookin for.

ive seen most of ali's fights. i haven't been able to see every fight in the '72-'73 era. and i haven't seen a few of the '75-'78 title fights, nor holmes/berbick.

dont watch the holmes or berbeck fights
thats just bad news

his win over jurgen blin was good to watch too. ali just kept throwing good combos, and blin was DONE by round seven. ali ko'd him with a simple 1-2 is was great

[DuncanJL]

yes sir

the blin fight is one of my favorites. he connects on that right hand in the 7th right after the ref breaks them. man blin falls to the floor and you just know his head is pounding after all those hard jabs he took in the preceding rounds. i love that chapter in Ali's career. Later in the same year he had lost to Frazier, he was started on the vengeful comeback trail.

....God, does it even matter now that he's eating what used to be solid food through a straw and his daughter tells us that he likes to color.

Ali's fights are definitely the reason for his condition

trust me brotha. i know all about the tragedies of Ali's life. he was so much bigger than boxing, yet in the end he let himself be devoured in the ring. he could have been anything. social rights leader, entertainer, political speaker etc. It's one of the many paradoxes of Ali that he allowed himself to be destroyed by the meat grinder of boxing even though he seemed to so far above the ring. i choose to cherish his fight career bigtime though because i know that his fights are all we have of the extraordinary man. Thats what he chose to define himself as so i feel like i have to honor those fights. I choose to believe that the sacrifices he made have brought about a lot of good the world over. i try to not spend too much time being depressed about the condition he ended up in. The man sacrificed his whole damn life for other people so its all just part of the heroism of his life.

rounds three and four against archie moore in 1962 were good. also rounds three and five against henry cooper the first time in 1963 were classic. round eleven against ron lyle in 1975 was exciting. round four against zora folley in 1967 was also beautiful to watch!
