Well, I'm not gonna let the Ali bashing continue
@
Skip b.....you keep talking about Ali's comp. Let's get just a little more indepth then
Ali fought 61 fights.
Out of 61 fights, he fought HoFer's Archie Moore, Sonny Liston (2x), Floyd Patterson (2x), Joe Frazier (3x), Bob Foster, Ken Norton (3x), George Foreman, and Larry Holmes.
That's 14 fights against HoFers. 23% of his fights.
Take a minute and THINK about that.......almost every 4th fight, Ali was taking on a HOF fighter in their prime
For comparision's sake, how many current/future HOFers have Floyd fought? Mosley, JMM, DLH, and Gatti (possibly Cotto) in 45 fights.
That's only (at best) 5 fights against prime HoFer's. 9% of his fights. Almost every 10 fights, Floyd is fighting a HOF caliber opponent. How does that compare? It doesnt.
How can you even try and downplay Ali's opponents when they all fought in the greatest era of Heavyweight Boxing and against each other? Ali also fought Earnie Shavers, Ernie Terrell, Jimmy Young, Cleveland Williams, Jimmy Ellis, and even Ron Lyle was a good fighter as well
I understand a casual fan of boxing saying these things, but you should be ashamed of yourself
