Double Wow! I grew up loving boxing from the 60s on. I don't remember Doug Jones! What a tough SOB! Clay honed his skills and obviously became The Greatest Of All Time! Then was robbed of his best years by 🤔 our own government. However...I rooted against him and was glad when Smokin Joe kicked his butt. Ali's mouth turned me off in thoes years! Double However...when Ali fought Chuck Wepner in 1975 I became a real Ali fan. Wepner never was on the canvas and was ONE tough SOB! Ali beat him bloody! I grew to love Ali for the Great Champion he was. Thanks for the memories Champ! RIP!🏆 🥊🥊 Das 😎 all!

I was a sophomore in HS in 1963 and I remember the buildup for this fight and for Clay/Ali. He had burst on to the boxing scene after the 1960 Rome Olympics where he won the gold medal as a light-heavyweight. He worked his way up, his path carefully orchestrated by his career manager, Angelo Dundee. Dundee was to Clay/Ali what Col. Parker was to Elvis. In the buildup to the fight at Madison Square Garden, Johnny Carson, then in his first year hosting the "Tonight Show", then based in NYC, had Clay/Ali on the show. Clay brought the house down! His charisma, good looks, quick wit, his taunting and funny insults of then-champion, Sonny Liston, made for a great show. He and Johnny even fought a fake boxing match with Carson "knocking out Clay". He was already a star! After the fight, which the AP scored 5-4-1 for Jones, and myself, after watching the fight thought that Jones might have won, Carson came on his next show and was very critical of the decision. But the professional boxing gurus knew they had something with Clay, and there was no way he was going to lose before a huge championship fight with Liston. But after seeing this video, I think Clay definitely won a closer than expected fight. To the point, that July, 1963, Clay fought Henry Cooper in the UK. Cooper was known for his left hook, like Frazier later on, but Cooper was taller and leaner. Cooper caught Clay in about the 5th round and put him down into the ropes. Clay got up in time, lasted the round but was still cuckoo a bit at the end of the one-minute rest period between rounds. Dundee took a razor blade, cut Clay's glove, and when the rest period was over, showed the referee the cut glove, which then had to be replaced. That permitted Clay to clear his head with the extra time needed to change gloves. Clay won on TKO 2 rounds later - Cooper was a "cutter". True story! The next February, 1964, Clay fought Liston as 9-1 underdog, and executed probably the biggest "upset" in sports history. He provided a shot in the arm for boxing that was worth billions of dollars for the next 20 years. I loved boxing then. Now, they're a bunch of tomato cans.

Early in his boxing career Ali plan was to go the full distance to gain experience and harden up and durability for his subsequent fights. This fight plan subsequently prepared him for the world title fights against heavy and unorthodox fighters...in his career towards the end of his boxing career. He was the best, poetry in motion and GOAT. His popularity transacted through generations. My 2 and half year old gra rand son even knows his name. RIP

In the 5 years since I've watched this fight, watching this time I have changed my opinion. My memory was Jones was countering all night and Clay/Ali may have stole the decision (the crowd's boos also tainted my memory). Watching this time, I think Ali was busier than Jones, and rightly won the decision. It's also interesting that Ali weighed in at 202 pounds. His optimum weight was 212. So what would this fight have looked like had it happened around 1965, at the start of his prime, instead of Jan. '63?

Clay only clinched on the inside. He was not a complete fighter although he did get stronger as he got older. Throughout his career he held behind the head and was never warned for it by the referee. He looked better in some fights than he did in others. Doug Jones was a bit light for a heavyweight and wasn't a big puncher.

I have mixed feelings on this issue. I was at ringside for the Jimmy Ellis fight, there thanks to an AP reporter, and saw how easily he slipped punches and, even then, how fast he was. Having said that, I am skeptical. For instance, had both Lewis and he fought, if Lewis had modern training, how that would ended. Similarly, throwing a right lead against Marciano was asking to wake up much later in a different place. I would have loved to have seen him against Jim Jeffries with equal training . . . it might be the Marciano problem all over again. And, of course, there is the question of Jack Johnson--who would have outsmarted who. I don't think Dempsey could have touched him. Tunney, another master strategist . . . that would have been interesting. He did, though. have granite for a chin.
