Anyways Ali was a good athlete, but wasn't even compared to Roy Jones Jr. very orthodox in how he fought. He had virtually no defense except speed for most of his career, and he had alot of problems with guys who could box which is why I don't think he would have won more than half the times were he to fight Lennox or Holmes Prime for Prime. He ran around way too much, and that would tire him out too quickly, also he had a hard time getting in on the jab.
That's perfect well said totally agree
No he fought his first fight in 53
So thats totally congruent with the 32 birth date,there is no evidence to support anything to the contrary,and there is evidence to support his given birthday
And the family census records for 1930 list no Charles,but it does list his siblings
Dude, how can somebody who lives next door not know how old Liston was? They said he was around well before 1934, and that he was already a kid playing with their children by that time period?
