So is everyone else, and there opinion is that this man is an idiot.
Hes way beyond the Klitscho fan who thinks his man is an ATG.

Judge his boxing not his outside accomplishments and political movement.
Ali had a lot of suspect wins too, like when Dundee cut his gloves, also his norton fights, and he was knocked down by a small fighter and almost out, lost the first fight to Frazier, struggled with frazier, to me Ali's best win is George Foreman but even that is tarnished because Foreman could have been slipped mickey and given drugged water in that corrupt country, also Ali used PEDS for the Holmes fight just watch the 30 30 episode. I think Cus D Amato called Ali a bum who fought nothing but bum of the month, Cus even said he could develop a fighter to beat him.
I like Ali but I do think he is kinda overrated, my favorite heavyweight was Larry Holmes, very underrated and also George Foreman and Lennox Lewis.

Originally posted by NoLove View PostOf course not, but like I said, it is a fact.
Originally posted by NoLove View PostSo did many others. Joe Louis beat many greats? He doesn't get anywhere near the recognition Ali does. You really think he gets no sympathy?
by "recognition", do you mean that Ali's fame is greater than Louis' nowadays? that's just the way it goes sometimes. he made a huge impact on culture and is fresher in the consciousness of man than Louis. in a critical sense, Louis does not receive as much "recognition" as Ali because his resume is inferior. Ali fought a who's who of two eras, his is the greatest HW resume bar none, it's not even close.
sympathy in a general public sense does not transfer into critical appraisal among historians. sorry, buddy.

Everything can be discredited because boxing is not based on simple true and false or fact vs fiction. There are always going to be excuses and circumstances that take away from a victory and sadly it's something that permeates all of boxing taking away a lot of respect that fighters should be getting. At the end of the day it's 2 grown men in the ring and 1 comes out the winner, regardless of the circumstances.
