Examples

People get on Lewis for holding and hitting. "Ali did the same thing"....."Well, Lewis isn't Ali"

Wlad held too much...."Ali held for tactical purposes"...."Wlad isn't Ali"

Taylor backhands the jab ...."Ali backhanded the jab"...."Taylor isn't Ali"

THAT is what I'm talking about....how does being Ali make someone able to do those things without ridicule?
