20 defences, wins over Norton, taking the punch of Shavers, the event of beating Cooney and beating Ali were great feats.

Norton was hardly an all-time great. Cooney was an over-hyped "white hope" who vanished as quickly as he appeared. Ali?!?!? You mean: "the dried-up, over-the-hill, should've-been-retired" Ali, who looked like a walking corpse during the fight. Shame on the racist for even taking that fight!
