Roids were not banned till the 80s.

I thought sugar ray was the greatest

IDK whether he used Roids or just testosterone injections which is what i typed , and he probably wasn't d only 1 . I read that steroids were available as PEDs in sports since d 1940s or 1950s .

Yes testosterone injected into the body is classified as a steroid. Yes they were available since the 40s. Hitler used them on his perfect race. Athletes used it like a supplement.

There is an old adage I have heard all my life and it's that everyone has an opinion and they are entitled to express it but you don't yell fire in a theater or bomb on a plane. When Ali fought Jimmy Young, Jimmy was ready but the judges were pissed because the referee had to pull Jimmy's head out from between the ropes often. You cannot knock out a fighter if he is not in the ring technically. Joe Frazier was a boxing miracvle with a dangerous style because he had one eye. Joe Frazier was blood and guts with enough skill to protect his good eye and he proved he belonged. George Foreman was big and strong when he fought Ali but he had zero discipline and relied on power. Ken Norton got knocked out by steam roller George and was scared of him and I have stood next to Foreman in a crowd in New York on his second go round and he looked menacing. Ali depended on guts and was relegated to depending on his chin being strong the second time around. Sure he lost to Norton the second time around. Maybe t6he tear on his glove saved him from Henry way back when but Dundee's job like all trainers is to protect his fighter. Sure, maybe you didn't like the idea his fists hit Archie at forty six and maybe Liston was forty but he knocked out Patterson in back to back fights in the first round. Big Deal! I thought we were supposed to be fans. I am not a boxing commissioner. I am a guy that tried boxing and it wasn't for me but that doesn't mean that between matches I have to fgindf something wrong because anyone that steps into a ring is courageous and deserves our attention because they have to pass a tough test, pleasing fans and not teach classes on etiquette. Every fighter unless he fights someone made to order each time out has put his health on the line for purses and criticism. There is also the fact that rules and requirements have been at the forefront because evolution and revolution means that everything changes with time and we see the errors of our ways and this fighter has been emulated with technique and skills of a biog mouth that brings us to the point I want to make. Without contrversy there is no improvement and the fact that Ali may have juiced up is irrelevant because what was acceptable then is not acceptable now. The sport of boxing is over 2000 years old. Just ask the Greeks and Romans can you imagine the kicking biting and gouging back then?

My take on Ali, great champion, and a great but flawed human being.

Saying someone is a flawed human being, its kinda redundant don't ya think?

Perhaps, it's just how I think about a lot people who for better or worse made a big impact on the world. Everyone has flaws, even great people, if you didn't make many mistakes in your life, it likely means you didn't do much with it.
