Actually though most of Ali's fights were quite boring, except for the Frazier fights and a few other's most of them were boring, did you ever see Young vs Ali ?? that was a snoozefest but it was a snoozefest Young deserved to win.

I think Ali done a lot for the sport, but he did get slightly overrated for his antics outside the ring.
