Why would he whine about his success, he's easily the most respected and revered boxer to ever live. Then you have Larry Holmes who feels that he was as good or better than Ali (whether he is or not, I think any unbiased boxing fan would admit that Larry Holmes was one of the better HWs of all time), and
not getting 1/5000000th of the recognition or respect. I can see how it would be a hard pill for him to swallow.
Ali wasn't in a best damn sports show period countdown....
