Lets be honest. Muhammad Ali is good, but not that great...

    [url]dougemerypm[/url], your post only quotes the text you want to reply to-your own reply is erased or otherwise absent man.

    Something is not working right: twice i tried to reply to your post, but I will bet when I do it again, though I see the quote now-it will again not show the post of yours I am responding to.

    He was the best of his era


    But then again he never got in the ring with tyson, lewis or holyfield etc

    How would he have coped with a huge in comparison tyson fury?

    Was he the greatest boxer of all time, nah.

    Heavy weight? Maybe or maybe not we will never know.

    Yes, that is a major stretch and borderline disrespectful to say the least. You're talking about "Chisora" who is an B+ fighter at best in my estimation. Ali fought the most Punchers in heavyweight history and not only survived but won. Who do you know that has fought as many LEGENDS and LEGENDARY PUNCHERS as Ali. He's fought Archie Moore, Liston, Frazier, Foreman, Lyle, SHAVERS, Patterson, and Cleveland Williams. NONE of these guys knocked him out, but you think Chisora will of all people. The guy who got Iced by Haye and Whyte. Foreman, Lyle, Liston and Shavers destroy Chisora. The first three i'm sure of.

    Fury got up to beat cunningham and he got up twice from a much bigger puncher than Ali.

    But that wasn't really my point, fury is huge in comparison and very awkward. He can also box a bit.

    Ali was better than any heavyweight during the 90`s and maybe Foreman was too, Ali would have toyed with the Tyson of the 90`s.

    Here we go another alt trolling. Those of us that lived through the Ali years know that he really was the best of all time. Even though he was denied almost 4 years of his prime for purely political reasons
    The fact he says Ali was not an elite like Mayweather & Oscar ROFL proves he DKSAB PERIOD !!!!

    I'm not sure Ali toys with Tyson. Ali was great at his best but so was Tyson. If Tyson can cut off the ring and get inside, he'd tenderize those Ali ribs and eventually go upstairs.

    Completely different fighters but both great at what they did best.

    You can try to revise history but it will always be. Ali was the greatest

    You're either a troll, a casual, or someone who has had copious amounts of class A drugs.

    Which is it?

    My brain can't comprehend that you could be serious here.

    Not with the reasoning you've given.

    It simply has to be a joke.

    If not, where would he even start with this monstrosity of a post?

    It's a real head scratcher.

    He only did good because he was tall and had a good reach? Ha! Okay. Let's ignore the fact that he probably had the best footwork of any HW in history.

    He has 5 losses? Oh no. If only he could have had less losses like Mike and Oscar. Oh wait a minute, they both had 6.

    Many boxers hit harder than him? And?

    Not an elite like Oscar? Ha!

    I'm just going to hope that you were bored senseless when you typed out this nonsense.

    Okay.

    This has just confirmed that you're trolling.

    Kindly stop spamming the forum.

    Go and find something productive to do.
