And here's the difference between "old" Ali with his "excessive clinching" and very few body shots, in the fights you've pointed out in comparison to todays boring heavyweights....He wasn't afraid to take chances, and THAT is exciting!! Can you imagine Wlad having the balls to rope-a-dope a stronger fighter with the utmost confidence? Or how about if Vittles didn't back straight up and out of danger against lil Chris Byrd but instead sat in the pocket trying to trade and take his head off? Is what they did/do smart? Sure. Is it exciting? Hell no!!
