Muhammad Ali was electrifying for not only Boxing, but for Society.............it was tumultuous times, things were changing fast, society was getting ripped in different directions, people were protesting, .....

old timers like Marciano and Joe Louis didnt like him much, guys like Liston hated Ali's big mouth bragging

There was this sudden rush of innovation then: Jimi Hendrix, Muhammad Ali, MLK, NOI, Black Panthers

He was a part of all that, his good looks and charisma and athleticism, his audacity..........

..............amazing times.

I rank Ali about #3 ATG Heavy after Joe Louis, Lennox Lewis...........

But he really hurt people along the way, good and decent people like Joe Frazier, Floyd Patterson, and insulted hurtfully some really respected guys like Archie Moore, and good guys like Ernie Terrell, etc.

It was much more than selling tickets, it was cruel. DOESNT MIX WITH HIS SUPPOSED SPIRITUALITY
