He was arrogant at points but often in a campy way! The bouts in boxing went on too long back then, what 12-16 rounds. Often both fighters would be laid up in the hospital afterwards. Not a big boxing fan but Ali did posses a heck of a punch and fast jab and he moved fast on his feet. George Foreman glad to have got out of the business sooner. Brain damage is guaranteed if not.
