Both those guys carried themselves with class unlike Ali who was a loudmouth B******
Perhaps each man was a product of his times?

I'm not sure Louis would have been able to get a shot at the title if he;d have carried himself in the same way as Ali, and Marciano must have known in himself that he couldn't lay claim to be the Greatest.

I think Ali is hyped up, but to deny the man's record in the ring both as Amateur and Professional is plain stupid.
