That was in the era of world title 15 rounders, but that fight would never have been fought over 15 rounds. It was a 12 rounder because it wasn't a world title fight - it was actually for the North American title. It's also a mighty call to say that Ali would have been stopped: his jaw had been broken as early as the first or second round, and nobody managed to stop Ali with the obvious exception of his retirement against Holmes in his penultimate fight.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not so sure about the universe. A. Einstein?
