Ali was one of the greats but he's been deified by biograpghers and journalists. I'm sure he did his share of good with his racial advocacy but he spouted a lot of reverse racism, religious intolerance and didn't appear to treat women like a devout man of any faith

The uncle Tom remarks about Frazier seemed out of place. Frazier's skin was a lot darker and his upbringing a lot poorer than Ali's.

Ali's also been the ruin of a lot of less talented and aspiring boxers. How many guys have you seen on TV let alone in the gym that get beaten up doing the things that Hamed, Ali and many other physically gifted but unorthodox fighters are able to get away with through superior athletic talent? (low hands, sticking chin out, mugging to the crowd,swaying back from punches etc)
