The same could be said about many fighters.

But there isnt a fighter in Marciano's time that could claim greatest of his era in which he supposedly ducked. We dont look back and say well he didnt fight _____. And hurt the sport bad.

If they dont fight we at least know Floyd himself said he doesnt want to fight him because he is concerned for his health. No problem there but knowing this, does Floyd deserve to be put on top of the mountain with the Ali's who sacrificed everything to beat everyone so they could be claimed as the greatest?

Not in my opinion but to each his own.
And look at ALI now...
If that's what it takes to be the greatest who would want to?


Ali would.

Thats why he is generally considered to be the greatest (not saying he is but in general). He wanted it that bad. Not only that he had the skill.

Even those who have this combination arent usually lucky to come out on top especially in the shark pit Ali was in, which makes Ali even greater imo.
You think that Ali is happy to be in the terrible condition he's in?

You think that had he know that he'd and up as helpless and immobile as he is today that he wouldn't have changed the way he chose to fight?

Are you stubborn or stupid or both?




Im pretty sure hes said many times he wouldnt change a thing and wishes he could do it all over.

I wish I had the courage, skill, heart and toughness of Ali.

Ali was put on earth to do be the baddest man on the planet and thats what he did. He would do it again.

Considering what he did inside the ring and outside the ring, I would say its a safe bet he has no regrets.
