I hear people say that the Pac-Man is the greatest or others maybe...Well my question is how? You have millions on top of millions of people in just America alone who has never heard of Pacquiao, nor Floyd for that matter. And millions who have but couldn't tell you nothing about them. (deal with the truth boxing isn't as big as it once was) While Ali was the most famous man on this planet you call Earth while he was boxing and still maybe.
How can one with common sense compare these guys career to Ali...When the truth of the matter is they've only been in the mainstream for being at the top of their sport for only 6, 7 or so years...When Ali dominated the 60's (exclude the 3 1/2 years taken from him) and the 70's.
They talk defense but don't mention how it was hard to hit Ali in the 60's. Ali in the 60's. A man over 200 pounds with that kind of movement and speed. A prodigious speed that impressed The Late Great Bruce Lee on how a man that big be that fast. They talk about Pac-Mans congressman status (which is impressive) but they never mention how Ali was adored and met with the worlds greatest leaders such as Fidel Castro, Mumur Khadfi, Anwar Sadet, The Dalai Lama, Hamid Karzai, Nelson Mandela, and many other Presidents and World Leaders and Ali met these people through boxing and was not even a politian. They never mention how Oxford University (considered to be one of the western worlds best learning center) Offered Ali a professorship to teach poetry. (which he turned down due to not having the time) But Ali gave boxing entertainment with his acts doing weigh in's and pre-fight interviews. Entertainment with the Ali shuffle, dancing, rope-a-dope, the biggest fight (Frazier/Ali 1) a fight seen by a BILLION PEOPLE watching through closed circuit (pay-per view of those days) these are facts etc...
Whether you like it or not he was so big (great) he had his own cartoon, toys, candies, cookies and etc...Hundreds of books have and still are being wrote on him. Many documentaries are made on him and were made on him even when he was fighting..And his credits and accomplishments goes further than one can write.......So no need in comparing The Great Pac-Man or anybody else to Ali or say they're better than him cause they all looked up to him. And quiet as keep these guys have not even had the effect on boxing nor was bigger than Tyson. Let's just enjoy these fighters (for which a lot of them are great) cause when Floyd turns down over $40 million to get in the ring with Pac or whatever. When big fights like this can't be made....boxing is on it's last leg and maybe that's the reason why fans like myself watch the footage of boxing from yesterday....Let's try to keep boxing strong. "The Greatest Of All Times" Is not only Alis slogan but it is him..peace.
