Jan 1971, I just got out of the army. My best bud Larry and I go to Scranton to watch Muhammad Ali box three different heavyweights consecutively. One was the reigning European heavyweight champion. It was an exhibition and in-between fighters Muhammad Ali grabbed the mic and talked to the audience. He was funny as hell. What a great night. I had survived the army and was back home in time to watch Muhammad Ali.

I met Ali at a private party in Los Angeles before he succumbed to Parkinson's. As many of you well know (and as is often the case at house parties), the best conversations take place in the kitchen and this was no different. I asked Ali what it was like to take a punch from Frazier and he said, "Have you ever split wood with an ax and hit the wood wrong? You know, when you feel that shock in your arm and shoulder that numbs half your body? It's exactly like that every time he hits you. It takes a few minutes for it to wear off." One of the most memorable human beings I've ever met in person. A giant. Intelligent, friendly, funny, accessible, and imposing all at the same time. A superstar personality. A generational athlete. Truly the greatest of all time, IMHO.

@@kai_johnsonn We talked about many things, actually. As for the "Frazier" question, it came up organically in the natural course of conversation. I believe most who met him would refer to Ali as a "people person". Very normal. That's certainly how he struck me. Odd (when you think about it) for an international icon. And, in fact, (and although I clearly don't know) I'm not sure how many people asked him about "boxing". I get that sense because, prior to his response, he thought about his answer for a while.

Those matches really showed us his greatness and uniqueness. With that era Ali, Boxing looked like a pure art form, not a sport...! No boxer will ever do boxing as beatiful as Ali did....! Vietnam war grabbed his prime years, it is ultimately an unrecoverable loss for all boxing lovers...!

Nah he’s the greatest because of his 70s resume. Whooping the best heavyweights of all time despite being 35 and well over his prime. If Ali never came back after his 3 year lay off. He would not be the greatest. These are fax. His resume during the 60s is taking out of context. He beat Liston when he was well over his prime, beat Zora when he was out of his prime, beat a washed up Cleveland Williams. All the big name fighters he beat in the 60s were shells of themselves. Only guys he got in their primes were Floyd, Terrel, and some other guys. Those fighters were all in their prime when Ali dismantled them.

Muhammad Ali was the best & smartest boxer in history. The only deficiency M. Ali had was not having a lethal iron punch to destroy his outclassed opponents in the shortest time possible. That deficiency was costly. It forced him to endure many unnecessary rounds which cumulatively took mental & physical toll on him. Having said that, Muhammad Ali was/is still the pioneer textbook of modern boxing.

This was the first world heavyweight title bout ever held in Germany. Mildenberger was the first southpaw to fight for the World Heavyweight Title. Ali was a 10-1 favorite. There was a crowd of about 40,000. Introduced in the ring prior to the bout were former World Heavyweight Champions Max Schmeling, Joe Louis, and Ingemar Johansson. Ali and Mildenberger wore six-ounce British gloves. Mildenberger's left eye was badly cut in the sixth round and almost completely closed by the eighth round. Mildenberger was knocked down in rounds five, eight, and ten. Referee Teddy Waltham of Great Britain stopped the bout at 1:28 of the 12th round to protect Mildenberger from further punishment. The fight was scored by rounds. At the time of the stoppage, Referee Teddy Waltham had Ali ahead 7-2-2, and Judges Felix Ohlet and Nat Fleischer (editor of The Ring magazine) each had Ali leading 7-3-1. The Associated Press had Ali in front 9-1-1. One of the promoters said Ali would collect a purse of about $300,000 and Mildenberger about $100,000 of the total gross of approximately $750,000 from the gate receipts and television. Questioned in 1973, Ali said that Mildenberger, not Joe Frazier, was his most difficult opponent to date.

Good fight. Ali seemed unable to connect with several combinations in the early rounds while Mildenberger was repeatedly connecting with his right jab to Ali's head and body, but the champ's capacity to shake off a good punch served him well. In the middle rounds, he became more aggressive, finally started connecting with his combinations, and began to take command. However, the German fighter's technique and his ability to bob and weave, connect solidly with Ali at times, and avoid most of Ali's punches save for his punishing left jab, kept the champ at bay just enough until the very end, when Ali's devastating punching attack left Mildenberger vulnerable. Obviously, he presented a difficult target to hit in the early rounds, but once Ali began connecting and going after him, it was just a matter of time before Mildenberger could be hit almost at will and the fight was stopped.

It was Cosell’s thing back then to question Ali’s punching power. He did it often, probably to create controversy. Ali was never a big puncher. He referred to himself as a “Pretty Dancer”. His opponents were mostly stopped with an accumulation of punches. Looking back on these first reign fights, in retrospect, it’s utterly amazing how this man moved and how hard he was to hit. He was a genius.

Actually Ali had a pretty good right hand. His left hook was good also. He never threw these punches with full power until his opponents were so beaten up or exhausted that they dropped their hands or unless he could catch them wide open. Once landed with full power...few men failed to fall. Many were counted out like Big George. Those who staggered up before the 10 count were usually waved off after the reff took one look into the eyes 👀 and saw nobody home.

Mildenberger was one tough dude. Probably Ali's toughest fight during his reign before he was stripped of the title. Cosell kept saying Ali would have a lot to explain after the fight for his inability to put his opponent away. I think this is one of Ali's most impressive performances. He moved and boxed the entire fight and went flat footed to get his power shots off when the opportunity presented itself. He gutted out a tough fight against a determined, strong southpaw opponent who presented a difficult target. I don't think Ali ever went in the ring with another southpaw for the rest of his career. This fight explains that.
