Is Muhammad Ali an ATG?

[Sage84]

Muhammad Ali is the GOAT, never mind an ATG.

[BennyST]

Yes, they're talking about Muhammed "5 Losses" Ali.

The one who was saved by the bell against Henry Cooper and who got knocked down by Chuck Wepner.

You're such a loser Freedom. You've never even seen the Cooper fight and I'd take getting knocked down a few times, by guys like Wepner, Frazier and Cooper to getting knocked out by guys like Ross Purrity.

He's also beat about 6 or 7 HoFers. How many have your boys even fought?

the reason why so many ali opponents are Hall of famers is that these guys BECAME hall of famers cause they gave ali a good fight or defeated him in one of the fights with him. if the Klitschkos were american, corrie sanders and lamon brewster would be in the hall of fame also.

[SirTomJones]

No, he was okay but was a bit of a bum.

[dc3383]

Ali never heard of him

Yeah because Liston is a HOF because he quit against Ali and then got KO'd in one?

Foreman is as well because he was a favourite against Ali and got embarrassed?

Lots of good showings there.

okay so lets see: Here are the hall of famers Ali beat:
Archie Moore: a past his prime light heavyweight. (That's like Klitschko beating Chad Dawson)

Sonny Liston: had one title defence in his whole career. Apart from beating another light heavyweight hall of famer twice (Patterson), he didn't do too much other than that.

Floyd Patterson: a light heavyweight. nuff said.

Joe Frazier: beat Ali in one of the fights. Furthermore Foreman didn't have problems with Frazier

Ken Norton: in reality he beat Ali twice. got right into the hall of fame cause other than the Ali fights, he didn't beat the other high level opponents he fought.

George Foreman

see. you can discredit every fighter if you really want to. You guys are doing that with Klitschko since years. But Klitschko didn't fight light heavyweights to get into the hall of fame. One Klitschko alone fought more undefeated opponents than Ali, Frazier and Foreman combined and none of them have been light heavyweights.

Can't be serious.
