@dujon55 No it wasn't hard for Ali. throughout Muhammad 3+ years layoff ellis started feeling himself to the point where he never mentioned anything about his friend. Ellis didnt show support at all. In one interview Ali spoked on ellis keeping his mouth shut and he felt some type of way about that. Ellis wanted to be the man so bad he wouldn't of had any issues if ali didnt return. so this fight had to happen muhammad had to put him in his place. Ellis mother before the fight - Ali dont hurt ellis & ellis dont hurt Ali. . .
