    Yeah that Ali, what a "great" friend. Ali fans can never spin that story.
    He also called Floyd Patterson an Uncle Tom too.

    To me Ali was a villain, as great of a fighter as he was he was an even greater asshole.
    That to me is mind games before a fight..getting under peoples skin. So yeah in that case he was a villain..but I have a hard time calling someone an asshole who stood up for what was right at the risk of his freedom. For me he's an icon who showed everybody that they didn't have to be a sheep to the government and media. Again, Ali is a true war hero to me for refusing to go to war. An asshole is not somebody who has a problem killing innocents in my book.

    Although Herol Graham was called the bomber, he really did not punch hard enough at the elite level at middleweight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I agree with you on Ali but you did ask about 1 bad trait and certainly Ali himself apologised for being racist to white people and surely his intention was not to humiliate Frazier to the extent that his son came home crying after being bullied at school.

    Floyd Mayweather - he can be a huge douchebag

    Zab Judah - all the natural gifts to become a legend, but absolutely no heart or dedication

    Manny Pacquiao - for some reason I don't really like his footwork. I also hate how he always loses his balance when he starts throwing big flurries

    The same could be said about Terry Norris.
