That's your opinion. Don't forget that a gutsy little Henry Cooper was enough to stop Ali. If it wasn't for divine intervention...

Besides, Ali wasn't a technical fighter as he mostly got by on his quickness, timing and judge of distance. He had difficulty with a Norton who was able to confuse the hell out of Ali with a few simple techniques that Ali couldn't figure out. At times especially with guys with a left hook Ali didn't have any other answers besides staying away, and this is agaist guys with easy to see coming hooks (With the exception of Bob Foster, but that's irrelevant). Keeping out of distance of the hook and shelling up isn't always the answer. Remember what Joe Louis once said, "They can run but they can't hide."
