If ali wasn't the greatest then who is?

Dumb thread, Ali is the greatest if you take all aspects together.

Bert Sugar said it best.
" He did a lot of things wrong but for him it was right."

Mohamed Ali said it time and time again...."I am the greatest Heavy Weight....but pound-4-pound Sugar Ray Robinson is the GREATEST"!

I believe when a man is modest enough to acknowledge the greatness of someone other than himself, protraits an unselfish human being. It reminds me a this dude, can't remember his name, but he was 200 yards from the top (the summit) of Mt. Everest, the highest point on planet Earth. After climbing for 3 weeks, bearing the sub zero wheather, he was ONLY 200 yards from the highest point any human can climb.....and he chose to turn around and NOT stand there with his arms ala ROCKY and say "Yo Adrian, I did It"!!!!

The thing about this story is he survived to tell his story, had pictures, film coverage and documented the entire ascend and decend. There have been several men who did stand on top of the highest point of Mt. Everest. And mysteriously disappeard in the snowy mountain, being swallowed by the mountain. Could it be that one who thinks he is superior to all others will meet a similar fate? Why was this one man, standing on the verge of greatness, turns around, and lives to tell about it. Just something to think about.

Everybody is tripping! Ali, Robinson, Pep, Langford none of those guys have anything on Emmanuel Burton Augustus! He's the true definition of a warrior, b/c he fought/fights any fighter, any where ,any time, any place! Even Mr.P4P said it best "wins & losses don't matter"...not to mention he gave Floyd his toughest fight! He's truly the best of all-time no question!
