Talented boxer. Held behind the head & held onto the ropes, both of which are illegal. Had more fights given to him than any boxer in history. Jimmy Young whipped his ass. I spoke to Ken Norton on the radio one day. I told him, "Champ, you whipped Ali's ass every time you got close to him!" He said, "well, that one fight he got to me pretty good." I said, "what about the one they gave him where he went to the hospital for a week & you went home?" He said' "yeah, you might have a point there." George Chuvallo's beating put him in the hospital. The reacon he shakes like a crack head now is from the beatings. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with any disease. As Smokin Joe Frazier put it, "That aint no Parkinsons. That's left hookitis, go look at the tapes."
