Ali, like Jack Johnson before him, seemed to fight down at times to the level of the competition. Ali could be beat by fighters like Ken Norton, Jimmy Young, Doug Jones and others.
Against Louis he'd be 100% as he was in the 3 Frazier fights. If they found 3 times, he'd lose at least once. The power Frazier hand in the left hand - Louis had in both hands.
