    Ali was never a welterweight, he was just a light heavyweight (two different words, never a light-heavyweight, just a light heavyweight).

    Dude used to throw out that left jab like a welterweight, and got floored by Henry Cooper, and then his corner cheated....

    Never The Greatest, never even top ten........

                    Who's better than Ali then?

                    This will be a good laugh.

                    Hamed won one round, like I said.

                    Better than Ali? At any weight? Ray Robinson. Beat that then you cheap ****...

                                Clay was young and didn't fill out which is why he was still light. As he got older, Ali grew thicker, becoming a Man. He was 212 for Williams at the age of 24 and noticeably thicker and stronger.

                                For the cheating, I read that is actually a myth or at least over-blown. It was actually something like an extra five seconds and they never changed the glove, by BBC.

                                His jab was very good, just not greater than Larry Holmes.

                                        If we agree on one thing, can we agree he was vastly overrated?
