This is the reason Starr, Wlad and Vitali are bashed for the exact same things, I was wondering why it's ok to bash those guys for the same things Ali did.

I said that great fighters usually bend the rules in their favor guys like Demspey, Marciano, Tyson, Liston(well he went too far with the stuff he put in Ali's eyes), and yes even guys like The Klitschko's but why should Ali not have to answer the same questions?

If Ali is put on a pedestal and he doesn't answer to the same questions then it doesn't make him "The Greatest of All-Time" it puts him in a DIFFERENT category, and if all of his fans believe he's the greatest (which sure I rate him high but not #1) they should compare him to boxers the same way with the same rules or else he has an advantage that is unfair.

I don't want to knock Ali but if you campare him to someone else you have to see the bad stuff he did as well as the good just to be fair.
