* Floyd Patterson ......... "Floyd enters the Ring with a bad back, and having been floored numerous times by his sparring partners leading up to the fight"

Brock I know you have been a critique of Ali but are fair minded enough to acknowledge what a great fighter and champion he was.
Bill take a leaf out of Brock’s book and be open minded when it comes to all things Muhammad Ali.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
aye mate, forsooth. Ali's neck grabbing and mugging and holding gave me fits even when I was 13 years old---- but the mofo was a sharpshooter who could slice you to ribbons with a vicious relentlessness--I sure as hell wouldnt wanna look across the ring and see THAT mofo's face looking at me----gonna be a helluva night of pain. Man was a FORCE OF WILL AND HEART.

Muhammad was the toughest guy with the fastest hands/feet and the prettiest face.
Will there be another Ali probably not.
Muhammad has Irish blood which gave him his toughness.
The 'first' halfway decent and capable fighter that Muhammad fought.
He lost, and got his 'coolie' dusted in the process.
