on September 10, 1966 Muhammad Ali put the heavyweight title
on the line for the fourth straight time on foreign soil.
The venue was Frankfurt, Germany, and the aspirant was German
southpaw Karl Mildenberger. This fight correlates somewhat
with the surprisingly tough tussle that Billy Conn gave Louis
in the summer of 1941. The Mildenberger encounter was the
most competitive fight that Muhammad Ali had in the midst
of his spate of heavyweight title defences.
Many Stories have sprung up over the years crediting Mildenberger
with nearly beating Ali and winning the heavyweight title
of the world, but that's not rooted in reality. Ali was
never in jeopardy of losing the title, although he did get
hit more often than he was accustomed to and was stunned
a few times by looping lefts from the German. It took the
champ a long time to solve the riddle of Mildenberger's
portside style and the longer the fight went, the more excited
the German crowd became. Of such circumstances, myths grow.
In the 12th round, though, Ali finally ended it.
