    In hindsight, perhaps Big George should have demanded Ali have Olympic-style testing! Ali's other opponents like Frazier should have as well...

    Without performance-enhancing substances, would Ali have been successful?
    Tunney, you just failed, really, really badly.

      Why do you think it's fair to question Pacquiao, but it's not fair to question Ali?

      Isn't that a double standard?
      Oh yes yet another example of the black man getting special treatment, right Tunney

          According to the Gayweathers argument. Any great athlete who can do things that goes beyond the normal norms in the sport is on Peds/Steroids. Maybe those boxer's in the ATG's list are all juice up because they too have not undergone Olympic-style drug testing and what they have accomplished are beyond normal norms?! Can anyone justify this?

            Why, do you think it's because of racism against Asians?

            Or is it just special treatment for American-born fighters?

              No. You were just too dumb to see the point I was making, but 99% of people here easily understood.

                  You can't discredit fighters of that era.

                    A lot of athletes MAY have been on something.

                    There's only so much that testing can catch.

                    I'd like to add that Foreman fought like a moron in Zaire.

                      What else could he have done? Tried to fight a technical chessmatch with Ali? He did what he does best, bum rush his opponent. Probem is he was fighting a master.
