Ali's the greatest, his S*** smells like roses and he's muslim too, oh that is sooo cool!

Holding is illegal the way Henry Akinwade does it, holding as well as pushing as well as holding and hitting VARY from ref to ref. Lennox Lewis held and hit, Ali held and hit, Hopkins pushed off with his shoulder, Evander used his headbutt, Ruiz holds and hits, and on and on and on and guess what those guys USUALLY won, is it illegal, yes and no. If the ref doesn't do anything about it then it ain't illegal now is it?

It comes down to the ref and that my friend is the bottom line!
So if the ref don't see it then it ain't illegal. I bet you think that if a tree feel in the woods and no one was around to hear it that it didn't make a sound too don't you. Thats weak.Once again we talkin about hatton not ali. And ali wasn't a dirty guy in the ring. Far from it. His personal life is his business. But he wasn't dirty in the ring. When he won it was straight up and when he lost it was straight up. Like i said don't compare the 2 because as a boxer ricky would hope to be half as good as ali was.
