I started out giving Ali the benefit of having a GOAT resume.
I don't understand why on Earth anyone would use his PHYSIQUE of all things to explain why he was superior to modern HWs. He was famous for precisely the opposite: He didn't even lift weights and devoted very little attention to raw strength. He fought in the high 180s early career, put on 10 lbs of muscle mid career, pudge after that.
Why do the same people who worship him seem to lack even a basic grasp of who he was?
I know. Because they didn't even watch his fights before falling in line with the other ******s and saying he KOs everyone that ever lived, was monstrously buff, lightning fast, undefeated (I've actually seen that one), etc.
