9. Ali vs Leon Spinks II
Nobody would have been blamed for not giving Muhammad Ali much of a chance to defeat Leon Spinkswhen the two met for a rematch in September 1978. Spinks had already notched a win over Ali, and Ali was no longer anywhere close to his physical prime. What Ali was able to do, however, was keep Spinks distanced with pinpoint jabs, and this strategy prevented Spinks from obtaining any momentum during the rematch. Ali defeated Spinks and became the first man to win the heavyweight championship three times, but this would be the final victory of Ali’s legendary career.
