He was doing moves on Ali that are near idiotic. I forget the technical name of what he did but basically he would leave himself wide open but no one ever tries to throw the punch because of that. If that didn't work he may have lost the fight. It was an excellent fight though. Boxing isn't just go in there and punch the other guy. There is strategy that comes into play with boxing.

What he said. While it's good to see two guys who just go right at each other like the Corrales/Castillo fight, Ali knew was a genius in the ring. He knew he could take punches and due to his speed he could take out anyone. Having seen some fights, I rank Ali as the greatest boxer that I have ever seen
