Cassius was all of {Age; 17 years, 4 months}. But, he was ranked as the #2 American
Light-Heavyweight, and was getting all the publicity.

Bob was 'the man' in 1959, and schooled the Kentuckian boy.
Well done Bill, you've proved the Ali point perfectly. At 17 years and 4 months of age, Ali was schooled by the 21 year old Foster. Later on down the Line, Ali smashes Foster and many others in his career and become the Heavyweight Champion of the WORLD not once, not twice , but THREE TIMES!!! WOW!!! What an amazing improvement Ali made. That takes some doing doesn't it Billy boy? Thanks for enlightening us all and highlighting the Dedication and Desire Ali must've had to become as good as he did.
As for Bob Foster...........yeah,he was ok.
