First one looks good, definitely older. The second one looks odd.

I'm confident the first one would pass professional authentication -- it's a garden variety early-era signature, and a beautiful piece.

The second example is atypical in a variety of ways, and is a variation I've never seen before. Even with his illness, atypical authentic Ali signatures had some specific characteristics. I don't see any of those characteristics here. It's too out of the ordinary for me to deem genuine.
