    Very true but I bet the man himself doesn't think that, his will to win was beyond belief.

    Really I don't think many would like the life he has had for the last say 15 years

    I don't agree with that and many others don't.

    Slow, flat-footed, and predictable joe loius? Nah. Ali is the greatest fighter of all time.

    This shows Ali's indomitable will and that he's a true fighter for taking thunderous shots.

    "Ali greatest fighter of all time" that's a pretty big statement

    15??

    Hes been in bad shape since the 80s. I wouldnt want the life hes had for the last 30 years. Its going on 20 years ago that he shook violently as he lit the torch at the Olympics.

    I don't honestly think Ali is the GOAT but he certainly had traits that no one had more of. That was speed, both hand and foot, the ability to take a punch and ring smarts.

    No fan boy,....Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest fighter of all time....whereas Ali may have been the greatest heavyweight champ of all time. You show your ignorance every time your mouth flies open about Muhammad Ali.

    He certainly could take a punch.
    But those highlights really are a bad example of his greatness.
    Getting socked in the head all night is a bad example.
