Ali is Overrated

[butterfly1964]

Do me a favor for a second and get off Ali's ****. In the ring he was a damn good boxer who spent his career using his name to win fights. Out of the ring ring he was an attention whore, womanizer, draft dodger. If you were a boxing fan you would know there are many fighters better than Ali. Thanks for your time you can get back on his **** now.

Many fighters? Off the top of my head IMO only one or two boxers have come close to equalling or exceeding the body of work Ali has put together in his career, Robinson and maybe Armstrong. That's hardly "many fighters".

But besides that statement of the obvious, where have guys like Sabbath, K-Dogg, Kid Achilles, Buddy, Butterfly, Stinger, etc., run off to?

I only ask because I don't see much in the way of recent posts from any of these guys in the history section here.

I see you've come out of retirement.

I wouldn't call Ali "The Greatest", that's a very broad spectrum. I'd call him "The Greatest Heavyweight".

Oh God! Why is there ALWAYS going to be one Tyson KoolAid drinker that puts Tyson, TRULY the most overated Heavyweight EVER, on a P4P list.

If you watch his old fights as much as I do you would think differently.

Dude, I have all his fights. I was watching him on ESPN when you were still in diapers. Quick KOs over tomato cans are not going to impress me. By tomato cans I include most of the top Heavyweights of the time, easily the weakest in Heavyweight history. I would have been MORE impressed by him LOSING a close decision to Tim Witherspoon than him blowing out Trevor Berbick. He LOST to EVERY top notch fighter he fought.....by knockout. Hell, he lost to every fighter who stood up to him. No, watching his fights impresses me not in the least.

** Duddess, Hell, Ali lost to every fighter who stood up to him, Joe Louis, Robinson, Hagler.....no wait, Marvin lost to a fighter who ran from him, not wishing to be impressed in the least by Marvin!

Yeah, but I only came back because you owed me a little something, Butterfly, which means I'm expecting you to give me one of these on here before too long;
