Thats what i've always said, of course he deserves praise for taking on the best and showing courage and ETC. But as i've always said to those people, had he lost his fights against Ken Norton x2, Jimmy Young, Earnie Shavers, Doug Jones.

Would he still be seen in the same light ? because i for certain think he lost to Ken Norton x2, Jimmy Young, Earnie Shavers, i thought his fight with Doug Jones was a draw, and in that fight he wasn't that far from his prime either.
