I never put much credence into Cassius Clay being a great fighter. Oh, he's a wonderful boxer,
but he's not a great fighter.
So, he beat Sonny Liston. That's no big deal. I was boxing Sonny's his ears off when they brought
him to Pittsburg for training back in 1955. And I was a very worn down boxer at that time.
He was nothing but 'slow' St' Louis Hash.

Last time I did a list I had him #6. Although the Heavyweights as a division are pound for pound weak; they do tend to have icon leaders, who should be rated highly. Ali and Louis being the top class of them leaders.
