Ali is known as the most beloved boxer/athlete of all time and reasons are...

[PAC-BOY]

How can a fighter come up in an racist era and be accused of letting his own Country down for ducking a draft and for trash talking his way through every fight, be now the best fighter and most beloved Athlete of all time?

Simple answer...He gave the fans what they wanted to see. Loved him or hated him they got there money worth. Nobody talks about who Ali ducked. Or Sugar Ray Robinson ducked or Joe Louis ducked...Ali fought the best...the list is long of the great fighters that stepped in the ring with Ali.

A certian fighter just resently said in his interview ..."Look at the Ali situation. Fans pushed him to get into fights at the end of his career that he didn’t want to get in…If Ali could trade it all in for his health, he would.”

Let me correct this fighter that told Costas this.... Ali was not forced by fans to get in the ring with Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Ken Norton, Larry Holmes or Trevor Berbick. Money, pride and a fearless belief in his skills were the motivation for Ali to take those fights.

“Self preservation.” Ali never gave us two years of ducking and dodging drug tests, fake retirements, or told other fighters to leave their promoters and be his own boss, no 50-50 split, or any other smokescreens, bluffs and lies. Ali is a real Champion. He loved his fans and loved this sport.

Ali came up in an era where blacks really couldnt be too vocal without reprecussions. Look at Ali.... Stripped of his title and cheated out of prime years simply because he didnt want to go murder innocent asians... This is why even FLOYD stated ALI is the greatest. But hes the best. Even ALIS daughter admitted Floyd has better technique than her father.

Quite simply there will never be another Muhammad ali, because things have changed so much. What other american heavyweight champion went back to africa before or at that time?? Jack Johnson fled to London, not africa. Joe louis never saw the motherland.Liston, etc these guys didnt do any of that.

This is why hes the greatest. He could fight and his people loved him. The fighters back then even fought more often as well Its a completely different time frame, you dont seem to understand that because you just started watching boxing.
YOU STATED:

ALI nor FLOYD ever ducked or dodged drug tests, as Floyd is the one right now taking those test. Mosley, Ortiz, and now Cotto. There is another fighter that has only and only likes piss tests...

Ali retired and came back. In 1979 Ali announced his retirement, but lost to THE Easton Assassin. I bet you dont even know who that is without google lol... And then he retired again after he lost to the JAMAICAN SENSATION... TREVOR BERBICK. So you can call it fake retirements if you wish, but Floyd was retired longer than Ali ali was retired for about a year.

Ali was born and raised at a time when he couldnt be his own boss son. Ali making 5 million dollars was top pay back then, Floyd literally today in this time and day makes x3 times that amount on the back end from concessions, payperview, souvenirs etc.

The rest is simply whatever you want it to be. The fact is that ALI IS THE GREATEST AND FLOYD IS THE BEST.

Whether you want to admit it or not, the bookies in VEGAS know what time it is... AND DEEP DOWN INSIDE YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS AS WELL!!!

GET YOUR HEART OUT OF IT, KEEP A LEVEL HEAD SON....

I guess PACQUIAO IS A REAL CHAMPION WITH CATCHWEIGHT TITLE FIGHTS HUH????

UNWILLINGNESS TO TEST TO PROVE HES CLEAN (RANDOM) Ali never would have turned down a blood test, because like Floyd he was all natural.... Ali would have never fought Foreman at a catchweight either....

The fans hated ALI, The government hated ALI.... AND HE OVERCAME IT ALL THATS WHAT MADE HIM THE GREATEST.

NO CATCHWEIGHTS
HE DIDNT SUE PEOPLE
HE DIDNT SAY HIS SOCKS WAS TOO ITCHY.
HE DIDNT COMPLAIN ABOUT GLOVES
