Ali vs Quarry I. Just put it on to enjoy watching Ali do his work. His jab; movement; fluidity. Just a thing of beauty.

I agree oogiebe. First fight I ever saw. Despite losing to Frazier five months later, this version of Ali was still magnificent. The 1966/67 version of Ali would have beaten any heavyweight. From any era.

That was prime Ali anyway. Frazier was just too good, at his best he would beat any version of Ali. Both never were the same though after their first meeting.

Ali clearly was not in his prime. In his prime, he would have defeated Frazier.

Not the Ali from the mid 60's, but still a great fighter. Ali was the Greatest!
