Let's not forget, that though 'Mllde' was an aggressive fighter, he had a 'below-average'
defense and a very questionable chin.
And 'Milde' was only 194 lbs., which did not put him in the average sized Heavyweight
category.
That average power stopped Patterson, Liston, London and Cooper. If Ali had the single punch power of Joe Louis he would be the perfect fighter.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
