Doesn't look staged
But do not make the mistake of thinking Ali knew exactly where to move on each of those punches either.
He was using incredible head movement to be sure, but he is also lucky he didn't run flat into something with his hands on the ropes like that too. He did catch an uppercut but while he was moving away so it wasn't much of anything
Ps, the fact that it is an exhibition night account for the guy not trying to crush Ali's liver in that clip. He might have been playing along for the showmanship, but it certainly looks like he was trying to hit him hard. I would imagine in a real bout there, the guy would go hard to the body midway through that after missing a few just to shake up the movement

In some, yes. But in roughly punches 4-10, he doesn't extend fully.
I asked if it was legit too, in the sense that was Ali that good/cocky during regular matches? Not old enough to watch him live.
