Im mean losing to and then beating "Neon Leon" to win it back....Not the greatest story ever...

All the other records though...what a legend.

I agree. Ali's resume is the most amazing part to me. Winning the HW title 3 times is overblown. He had to lose to a 8 fight novice (OK, Ali was shot) in order for that to happen.

Having wins over guys like Frazier, Liston, Foreman....and beating the top contenders for such a long period of time, is probably the main reason why I think he has a stronger argument than Louis as the #1 HW ever.
