Was he the greatest P4P boxer ever NO!!!!...That will IMO always be Ray Robinson....An arguement that no one could ever change my mind on...Was he the greatest Heavyweight ever YES!!!!!....Again an arguement no one could ever change my mind on.....

Gold Medal winner....First 3 time HW champion ever....His speed was something to be marveled...To see a man that big throw punches so fast...He floated ( almost literaly) his footwork is almost un matched....He had a chin that was like granite....He fought Liston, Patterson, Quarry, Bunger, Frazier, Ellis, Bonevena, Foreman, Norton, Cooper, Folley...I could go on for hours. His rope a dope makes you wince at the shots he takes yet scream at his ability to withstand them. He was a money maker. He predicted and came through on his KO's.....
When he lost he came back better than before. He never looked for the easy fight. He hit harder than most give credit for..........
Perhaps what made him the GREATEST of them all is he stood by his convictions...Never was backed down by the public or goverment....

And to think we missed some of his prime during exile!!!!!!!


To talk about him as anything but great is ignorance...The man is an Icon and American Culture Symbol.....Point mader case closed....Name one fighter....Make that Athlete to even compare to him all around...Not in one aspect but the whole package!!!!!!........Someone BOOT THIS CLOWN.....He stinks up tha place....This is not opinion...This was something just to get us going....Probably the same guy who posted a while back Ali died.....
