How Do People Hate Floyd for Running, But Love Muhammad Ali?

[McNulty]

When confronted with cold hard truth you just call me dumb. Time to go on the ignore list. Another cat that doesn't bring jack **** to the table!

[Schmerzen]

Jeez you're dumb.

Plenty of Hall of Fame fighters have been caught slipping by one punch and then got back up and beat the crap out of a lesser opponent.

You think Ali's the only one who had a lesser opponent land a lucky punch?

And even with that he STILL got back up and stopped Cooper in 5.

And Ali took punches from Earnie Shavers, Sonny Liston, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Cleveland Williams, and Ken Norton Sr.

He could take a punch from Tyson.

cooper was cut to the bone, and if u watch the fight ali was toying with him and carrying him to make his prediction of a round 5 KO come true. thats how he got most of his predictions right, he carried his opponents. the cooper fight was a good lesson for him not to do that, he still beat the **** out of him at the end. if u watch the whole fight, it was one of his best performances actually, dodging every punch till the left hook at the end ouf round 4. but thats how big ali's name is, if someone knocked him down he instantly got famous. even wepner got famous after stepping on his foot. how many times was joe louis knocked down? marciano? and other atgs? no one even remembers. if anything this proves how great ali is.

Exactly.

What great fighters didn't get caught slipping once or twice?

It's how they responded that made them great.
