The amazing thing about Ali is after his win against Foreman he still went onto beat soe of the best HW'S Frazier, Norton, Spinks and another one of the hardest ever punchers Earnie Shavers. It's crazy to think what would've happened if he hadn't missed those 4 years during his prime.
Thats the point i always try to make when i talk about Ali. To me the pre 68 Ali was at his ultimate prime and just a truly skilled boxer. When he came back a few years later his legs were gone. He couldn't move like he used to. The best years of his career would of been during those years he was suspended. You watch those last few fight s of his before they stripped him of the title and i think he was just amazing.
