I really enjoyed this 'competition' ...... and agree that Ali is the Greatest heavyweight if all time.

BUt, I do also think that Joe Louis was the BEST heavyweight of all time.

Ali was better at publicity, came along at the right time, got hooked into social issues, plugged into the huge media expansion at the time, heralded the golden age of heavyweight boxing - and Louis didn't ....... but I still think he was a better fighter (IMO)
