    Ali wanted to be like.....

    Sugar Ray Robinson. He admitted this on interviews during training, I'm gonna try and find the videos of him saying "This is how Sugar Ray does it" and he starts punching faster, and harder. Ali was inspired by Sugar Ray Robinson, his handlers ven admitted this.

    Sad how Robinson gets no credit after the so called "Greatest" was actually trying to be him.

    Here's an article:http://www.nytimes.com/1987/07/19/sp...ing-curse.html

          Ray Robinson was a beast in and out of the ring. Can't wait to see a motion picture based on his life.

            SRR is universally considered the greatest fighter of all time. He definitely gets his due.

                Damn right Huey. I saw that documentary. No one holds a candle to SRR. If I was challenging Floyd that would my first line at the press conference. "You ain't the greatest fighter of all time. The best in this generation maybe, won't know until you fight Pacquiao. But until then,this man went undefeated 85-0 69 KO's in the amateurs. Then went 40-0 in the pros. Did you go undefeated in the amateurs?" "HMMMMMMMMMM,"silence.
