    Yeah, hey listen..... we all here tend to defend Ali against the likes of Billy Paxtom, who harbors a deep hatred of Ali and makes up stories of how Ali was really just a regular fighter. But let's keep it real. Ali's first two titles were hugely impressive. But losing to Leon Spinks had to be downright embarrassing. So winning the title back from Spinks, albeit in very unconvincing fashion, was pretty much meaningless, if not adding even more embarrassment (for not taking the toothless one out).

    Facts are Facts

    Losing to Leon Spinks may be the 'biggest' embarrassment in Boxing.

    And not only getting your 'Coolie' beat around the Ring, but nearly getting KO'd in Round 15.

    Let's not forget, Leon had only been fighting as a Professional for 13-Months, and only
    had 7-Bouts under his belt.

    Didn't Ali look like complete shit in Ali-Norton 1? Unbelievable shit. 1973.
