i use to think that but after re-viewing the fight many years ago, it is clear to the ref and the crowd that ALI was not hurt, and was talking to george the whole time while landing the odd sneaky right-not to hurt him just to infuriate him even futher in order to punch himself out. It really was genius game plan, thats why ali is the greatest.
george was just swinging wildly,had he takin a step back,calmed down and measured his man, it might have been a different outcome. but that wasnt george's style, he was power full-yes. but also pondereous and wild
