    You know, Michael Grant is also a big guy. If Ali beat Grant, would that mean something? Or is it not as important because McCline is bigger.

      Dude, I had two black guys on my last team that I played for. Just becasue your colored doesn't mean you should look any differently at hockey. Yes it is a predominantly white game, but it doesn't exclude colored people, nor should you think it should.

      Don't hate, just becasue you don't understand!

        Grant doesn't have a chin, and Ali could punch, Byrd can't.

          You do know I'm half white, right? I dunno, it just doesn't seem like something I can get involved in. I come from Hoboken/Jersey City, urban squallor. I played basketball, baseball, football, and of course boxing. Basketball and hockey season always coincided, and I opted for basketball for both viewing and playing choice.

            Ali was never seen as a huge one shot puncher. All of his big LEGITIMATE kos came from attrition. Ali was not a big puncher.

              I'm trying to show it's kind of pointless to ask how a fighter would be if they possessed a very significant trait they didn't.

              Question-

              If Mike Tyson couldn't punch, would he have been as popular/marketable as he was ?
              nah i get your point, but...whatever, not worth arguing about

                There was no argument to begin with. You misunderstood my point. Now, you understand it. Just like that.
