Life Magazine has produced some of the most beautiful images throughout history, and I am grateful for the collection I have archived. The black and white photography of that era is incredibly telling and I for one can stare at these pics for hours, taking in several details from the images background and just absorbing and sharing the moment. Hats off to the photographers at Life Magazine!

PR - Very soft.

You couldn't get away with being that out-of-shape in modern-day athletics.

 Soft? You don't get much tougher than the heavyweights of Ali's era. Those guys could take beatings and keep going.

Ken Norton was as athletic if not superiorily athletic to the fighters of today and Ali faired well against him Phone Post

LOL @ calling Ali soft. He wasnt in fight shape in all those pics dumbass. Thats like assuming Rampage is soft by his walking around weight. All the fight stills show hes shredded, fruitcake.

WTF are you talking about..Ali's stamina and conditioning is the stuff of legend.

Compare that to today's MMA guys, who ofter at the elite level GAS HARD after the 1st round...Don't make me list examples.


Lennox Lewis was also soft looking despite being huge and having alot of muscle...Forman as well...James Toney ?



Fedor ?



LOL
