I am not degrading Ali, I am simply saying that a lot of people's opinion of who the greatest boxer ever is, is influence by their personality and outside of the ring achievments which makes it hard for any other fighter, not matter how good, to surpass Ali.
Let's face it, there have been more skillful fighters than Ali who have achieved more in BOXING. Very very few, but some. I am just saying that because Ali achieved so much outside of the ring he will always be the most 'loved boxer'. The guy is boxing.
But from a boxing standpoint, there is no doubt that a lot of people are influenced by his personality and non-boxing related accomplishments that no matter how good a fighter may be... it is near impossible for a the world to accept there's a greater fighter than Muhammad ALI.
It's hard for me to say Ali is the greatest Boxer to ever live if we are to focus purely on the sport itself, boxing skills and accomplishments.
Please understand that I am not degrading Ali, just stating that some influences of the opinions of many.
