Talking pure manners and sportsmanship, they are one in the same. Broner does not have the same skill level and does not have a legacy, but the way the go around acting and treating others is no different. For whatever reason the elites have decided that it was cute and funny when Clay acted that way, but anyone else who dares act that way gets dragged through the mud. Same thing with Mayweather....... only Mayweather DOES have a legacy on par with Clays and we still chastise him for his antics
Ali was copying a wrestler called Georgeous George, it was all an act, he was actually very quiet behind the scenes.
I don't think doing something because you're copying someone else diminishes your moral responsibility.
Apparently Hearns used to edge Tony Tucker in sparring. Of course things much stranger than fiction happen in sparring. But yes, a few people could have beaten Ali at this point!
I kind of like this post as im guessing you're dryly saying even a ill 25% of Ali with good matchmaking,nutrition and activity and "event" fights couldve hung around until at least iron mikes emergence in 1986.....hell in those circumstances....and even accounting for the rapid onset of parkinsons i could see Ali getting the first shot at michael spinks.......in 1985! If ali had got the nod vs berbick.....the black fake muslims wouldve insisted he carry on.....don king wouldve taken a hiding to step aside.....the "muslims"would've put their principals aside to work with the jew arum .i could see ali decimating a few selected patsies in 4-5 squash matches abroad in places like tanzania,sydney, bangkok,rome and rio de janeiro.....getting himself down to 215.....i could see him decisioning over 10 joe bugner in 83....halting the increasingly out of control leon spinks the same year....by 1984 he'd whup a lost jimmy young .....than after the holmes-spinks fight hed con a match against michael......like tyson circa 1998-2001he have maintained an aura all these years but would have resisted cashing in on a holmes beating...or accepting joe fraziers loud calls to fight marvis.....ali wouldve avoided your bonecrushers,coetzees and brunos to get that title shot..
A lot of ghetto kids who had grown up worshipping ali decided frequently to make a name in front of tv.....ali himself frequently half cuckolded himself to allow it......thats the kind human he was...we saw it with dokes in 77......hearns here....and holmes in 74.....the problem was ali was seriously seriously ill here... Ill assume hearns didnt realise and thought beating on alis body was just assisting his rope a dope conditioning.......ali was just so great....even with only his heart left we still thought he was holding back
