      Your statement "In other words" validates my point. Still nothing but opinions and assumptions couched as fact. Your original post is a statement disguised as a question. You quantify without qualifying. I can't directly answer a question that doesn't track to begin with. Inane, obtuse and clouded with inherent contradictions. Reread. Rethink, and Reinvent. They did.

          Ali was having size advantage over his opponents? He was only 6"3', this thread is an insult to boxing fans.

            Ali is the most overrated fighter in history. No one will be able to do as little as he did and be given this high of a rating ever again. Not with social media about.

            Ali lost all 3 fights against Norton but was given gifts in 2 of them. Lost to Shavers and Young but was given gifts again. The rematch with Liston had the stench of the nation of islam written all over it. Liston was told that if he didn't take a dive he and his family were in trouble.

            And that's not all, they loosened the ropes in the Foreman fight to gain an advantage. That was illegal, no two ways about it.

            So when you deduct them from his resume, who the **** did Ali really beat? His resume is thin with his opponents being as limited as you can get.

            So yeah, most overrated fighter in history, with his era being the most overrated in history as well.

                The ones I listed yes. Many of them were smalller or just no-hopers. Look up the names of a lot of his opponents during the 1970's. Long string of Kenny Getup and Dusty Trunks level opposition.

                  You have no point, some were bigger than him, he wasn't even that big. So you saying Wilder suck coz he's 6"7' and is bigger than all of his opponents? That's ridiculous.

                    I do have a point and I just made it. And yes, Wilder does suck! Size and power is his only advantage coupled with the weakest HW division in history.

                      You are deluded, all you do is hate. Stop discussing boxing if you hate it so much.
