"Oh. Now I get it. The flaws are sometimes not seen. Like when you're under the covers in bed." ........... Donna Mills

The most gifted fighter who lacked so much.
If Dundee had gotten him to go to the body, maybe he wouldn't have gone life and death with Frazier and Norton.
Dundee as much as i like him was basically a yes man for Ali. A GLORIFIED cheerleader.
Ali and RJJ relied on reflexes way too much.
When it left them, they didn't have skills that they honed.
Their workouts imo was about staying in shape, they both ate right, abstained from drugs, alcohol, but didn't have a plan (B)
,a recipe for a flawed fighter.
Reflexes as u stated- so fast, so agile their youth hid their flaws.
