Producing The Goods On Fight Night

Ali was indeed one.
His sparring was entirely defensive so he looked like he was taking beatings.


Max Baer

[Markusdarkus]

Ali no doubt.

He barely trained for half his fights.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Roberto Duran was another.

[Lance Uppercut]

Ali no doubt.

He barely trained for half his fights.

I doubt that.

[Master]

Ali no doubt.

He barely trained for half his fights.

I doubt that.

So do I.

I remember Manny Steward (did he train him for a bit?) saying Pryor was awful at sparring and got beat by most of them but come fight night he was totally a different fighter.

Ali no doubt.

He barely trained for half his fights.

I doubt that.

Between 71 & 74 Ali trained for Frazier, Norton re-match Frazier re-match and Foreman. In 75 he didnt train for antone in 76 he trained for Norton.

I know Ali`s career dont try and test you will get murked.

I suggest you youtube Ali v Norton II weigh in.

big fights Ali did not train properly for in the 70s:

Foster, Norton, Wepner (1wk in his biography), Lyle, Coopman, Young, Dunn, Shavers, Spinks I.
