Did Muhammad Ali earn his reputation on been a cheat?

[msagrain]

I was thinking if Copper had of beat Ali in the fight would it of changed the face of heavyweight boxing?

When you do think of Ali you think the best…. Not a cheat. Here comes the question that most people ask. “Well if he is the greatest, why does one need to cheat?”

If there was Ali was not saved by the bell, I my mind no doubt Ali would have lost. He did the most unsportsmanlike thing in the world. Or was it Ali’s fault? Did his corner man do this without Ali’s knowledge? Then to bring it to the referee’s attention, so the fight had to brake as he knew Ali was done.

Is this a myth? Well according to boxing news he only gained 5 seconds and the gloves were never changed. So why was Ali allowed to go on with a cut glove?

In the greatness of Ali, had he of lost. Would he of won a rematch with cooper?

[Clegg]

He would have won a rematch. He was winning the first fight until that incident and went on to win it. And he won the rematch that they did have.

If Ali had lost the first fight. Well all know what lossing to someone can do to our confidence in the early stage of your career.

ali came back and beat fighters much better than cooper after losing to them, so i think ali would have won 99 out of 100 rematches with cooper even if he lost that first bout.

That when Ali was a more mature fighter tho and not so much of an underdog.

if it wasn't luck that cooper had than he would have won in the first place.and he did lose the rematch.
