It's not Ali's era that's held against him....it's Louis' and Marciano's that are held against them!

You cannot drop fighters here and there to try and prove a point...how did Louis and Marciano do in their eras which were good enough to produce some big time matches: Schmelling, Charles, Walcott, Moore, Layne, Baer, and so on and so forth.

Keep arguing my position will not change. And yeah maybe I do let some personal stuff in my opinion but I don't let it affect how great a boxer I think anyone is. I disagree 100% with Ali's politics but it doesn't make him a better or worse boxer than anyone else.

All I am saying is Louis and Marciano own some pretty big records and what Ali did just doesn't compete with those.....IN MY OPINION.
