Boxing can make the best case compared to other sports.......

For what its worth, is happily argue for the opinion that Ali is I've of the most readily overrated fighters in boxing history.

Yes Ali is one of the main offenders to be sure but you will find in general that the further back in time we go, the more overrated the boxers in general and conversely the closer we get to the present the more underrated they become!!

In general of course!

I'm not an Ali fan, but Ali had the guts to step in and fight 'em all, unlike Floyd Mayweather. One talked the talk and walked the walk while the other talked the talk and, well, y'know...

And that's a point I will give you Bradlee, Ali fought all opposition and didn't duck anybody and Floyd Mayweather is probably the most shameful ducker of all time by comparison.

I don't think Ali's actions here speak for all old schoolers and I don't think Mayweather's cowardly antics speak for the entirety of boxing.

Where individual modern fighters are lacking I would criticise. Where individual old timers deserve credit I would appraise accordingly.
