And of course in 70-71 he was hit by Quarry, Bonavena and Frazier because he was completely rusty and he found out that he couldn't dance like before.
I disagree with this. Ali was one of the greatest technical boxers of all time. Look at his fights closely in the 60s and then in the 70s. He had to re-adapt in the 70s because he lost so much speed, because of this he got hit more often than in the 60s. He had to abandon his dancing style about 70% in the 70s, its very hard to switch your styles. Look at his fights, he was very elusive in the 60s and when he re-adapted around 72-75. Its only when he was older that he began to get hit hard.
Michaelyouth: Exactly!!!! You got it right!!!! He utilized his skills to the best of his advantage, He improvised and adapted to different opponents style. Angelo Dundee called him a genius. Yes he was unorthodox. But at his peak-as you said it worked-and no one could touch him.It's a shame what happened to him. He liked being in the limelight and didn't want to quit.
@tonyfressola From a so called ''technical'' point he did a lot of things wrong. But that is pretty much nonsense. Let's say you have a sprinter going 5 seconds faster with an onorthodox style, rather than the ''technical'' style, you would use the onorthodox style, because you are better in that way. He kept his hands too low, but you are right, that just helped him to move a lot better. I agree, he did nothing wrong, considering the type of rare skill he had.
Ali was also so good because he fought with natural abilities, not the orthodox boxing. For instance, he was se tall that his guard was a bit lower.. And so were his jabs.. Which are easier to be very fast if you punch down..
Also the only reason Frazier landed on him was because Ali started to lay on the ropes.
