Muhammed Ali - The Greatest

[Andre]

Well,,, if Ali is "The Greatest" then the 25 year old kid with only 7 pro fights who gave up 2" in height, 25 lbs and a 4" reach advantage and took the WBC and WBA belt away from a 36 year old heavyweight who should be in his prime, MUST BE THE GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME! Oh ya....the was Leon Spinks.... But hey....you all just keep on believing the hype....Ali MUST be the greatest! He kept saying it didn't he!!?!

Yeah he did mate,he got the SD, Ali got it back next fight with a UD, whats the hype we are buying into? It is just an expression.
The actual greatest was probably Louis for my own liking with 11 years running 70-3 but hell Ill leave his nick name at the Brown Bomber as Ali is the greatest..

How many miles do you think Ali had on the clock at 36? How much punishment had his body taken?

I know you're a Marciano fan but your hatred of Ali is irrational at best.

whoah, i think youre confusing me with the poster named Landmine950. I never said I hate Ali. To me he is ONE of the 2 or 3 greatest of all time.

Maybe so...

I just seem to remember you reveling in the fact that Frazier knocked Ali down.

I think what defines a fighter as great is how he trains for a great performance and how many times he comes forth to do it again and the quality of his opponent. How good was his opposition? Enough to have many great moments where his performance is recognized as great. After all you are only as good as your last fight until you are not able to do it any more. Sadly enough age, eroding of skills and finally desire cause them and us to remember the good performances. Ali was once called,"A thinking man's fighter." That also made him great.
