Ali Versus Stevenson

Fight promoters were dying to match Muhammad Ali versus the undefeated Cuban heavyweight Teofilo Stevenson. Many boxing pundits wrote that Stevenson could last fifteen rounds with Ali, but judging from his reach Teofilo wouldn't have needed fifteen rounds.

Longer arms.

Taller.

Better shape.

All action.

No talk.

But Ali had an edge,

Something one can explain.

Other than being Ali.
