No sense in being angry at the guy for speaking the truth...Ali is more personality than boxer.

Hey I know my opinion of Ali goes over like a fart in a diving helmet but I just think Ali's persona, charisma, and his cultural icon status tend gloss over any flaws he had as a fighter and a person.

No boxer is perfect, no boxer is unbeatable, and no boxer is as good as people think/assume Ali was.
nobody says that Ali was unbeatable, he retired with 5 losses, Frazier,Norton,Spinks, Holmes, and Berbick.

but no one can deny the fact that he beat a legendary names and did it without the controversy that there is now in boxing

Archie Moore
Henry Cooper (2X)
Sonny Liston (2X)

Jimmy Ellis
