The fight took place at Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre, Nassau, Bahamas. At 236 1/4 lbs., Ali fought at the heaviest of his professional career. He did well for the first three rounds, and Berbick appeared to be tiring. Ali saved his strength by leaning on the ropes and conserving his energy during the middle rounds, and tried to come on in the last few rounds. Berbick's frequent combinations had Ali on the defensive more often than not, and won Berbick the fight.

Who was better Cassius Clay or Joe Louis?

LOUIS was the closest thing to the "perfect fighter" ever and on the other hand Ali was a Freak who possesed abnormal speed and grace for a heavyweight...I think Louis would win as he was solid defensivly and would destroy ali if given half the chance ...Peolple will say ali wouldn't give joe the chance to unleash his devastating attacks.I think he would as ali was un-orthodox and did give fighters like foreman frazier norton and even Henry cooper the oppurtunities to really hurt him...none of which were anywhere near the calibre of joe Louis.Louis would cut off the ring and capitalise on Ali's weakenesess' especialy defending a solid left jab {which joe had}...LOUIS WOULD WIN

I think Ali is way to fast for Louis but Louis was known as bomber so I think it could be a draw

What is the main idea of boxing?

To land more leather on the other guy and stop said other guy from landing it on you. How much power you're willing to use is entirely up to you, although, generally prize fighters won't hurt their opponents unless they hate them or they have anger problems, or are malicioius sociopaths, one of those three. In the end though, hope you have a wise coach; although you don't go in there looking to land foul shots, you should train to avoid them. Don't know of many boxing coaches that teach how to avoid elbows, heatbutts, foot stomps and rabit punches anymore. If you want it simple though; land more leather on the other guy than what he lands on you, that's the goal.
