Though good enough to be considered by some (most notably, himself) \”The Greatest,\” Muhammad Ali absorbed too many blows during his long boxing career . . . including this one from Joe Frazier in March of 1971 at Madison Square Garden. The effects of that sustained punishment slowed Ali considerably in his retirement. He demonstrated as much on his visit to Canastota, at the age of 48, in 1990. (AP Photo, File)
