I know. I'm not an Ali hater. He was the best I've ever seen.Quote:

Fight within yourself meaning don't try to kill Ali...he wanted guys to swing for the fences to tire themselves out, the only one who was good at that was Frazier and his defense held him back.
You have to know what you can and can't do, stamina is an issue! Ali would go 15 rounds, he had a good chin and was hard to hit. So pace yourself and be realistic about how you could beat Ali.
You couldnt build a better fighter even in your mind than a prime Ali....If you could take the awsome speed and movement of a young Ali and mix it with the jaw of the Ali who fought after exile....Hell either version was just as he claimed GREAT!!
