        You're very good at rewriting history with falsehoods. I'll give you that.

            His hitting the peanut bag was slow.
            Standing on his head ,strengthening his neck muscles was impressive though.
            - - Sonny was more athletic, period.

            Ali choppin' wood and beating the heavy bag for 5 rounds, before sparring where he mostly laid on the ropes inbetween shadow boxing spouting Kiddie Doggerel was lazy.

            When Sonny lost to Ali he was 33 and injured and told to retire in a fight where Ali did little more than run like a chicken with his noggin cut off in between begging Angelo to cut his gloves off.

            When Ali lost to Joe he was 29 and got beat up bigtime, and then age 31 he got beat up with a broken jaw vs Norton.

            The Sonny that KOed Patterson likely KOs Ali at those ages...yer welcome as always...

              You obviously never saw Ali spar in the 60's. He did not lay on the ropes. Maybe you're thinking about mid 70's Ali, but again you are wrong.

                - - Seen prime undefeated Ali train twice and Joe Frazier in his undefeated prime where Joe was a monster in training.

                U was being trained in U Barney Big Boys then?

                  What you say and what is true are two different things since you believe Ali "mostly laid on the ropes" during sparring.
