Did Ali ever train in other fighting disciplines? Similar question I'm not sure Bruce was all that proficient in a ground game to put Ali into an unknown spot. You would think that Bruce would avoid a boxing style attack and go for the legs to reduce mobility. Ali would go for an overwhelming pressure style attack and knock out.

As mentioned Bruce was not really a professional fighter. Sure he did some competitions early on but that was side tracked with his movie career. He did develop a new fighting style, borrowing bits from other more traditional forms, and it is being taught today.

Personally, a more interesting match up, IMO, would be Ali vs. Royce Gracie. Of course that would mean a MMA style fight. If purely boxing then Ali all day long wins.
