    Are you seriously comparing an aging fighter like Ali who took diuretics to a walking pharmacy like Jarrell Miller?
    Really ? This is another example of your twisted version of events.
    To put Muhammad Ali,under these circumstances,in the same bracket as the likes of Miller is ridiculous.
    Shame on you.

    You obviously weren't around when Ali was in his prime. Plus don't forget he got banned from boxing for 31/2 years for purely political reasons, couldn't even train. When he came back he was still an awesome fighter, but not the lightening fast Ali he was before, but still the best in the world

    Ped's are one reason why boxing has gone down from being the Greatest combat sport in the world to being regarded as on a parr with the WWE. That& the blatant corruption that exists

    I repeat the question,are you seriously putting the aging Muhammad Ali--suffering from Parkinson's disease,thus taking diuretics to combat his weight increase--in the same bracket as the likes of Jarrell Miller ? Yes or no ?

    "You obviously weren't around when Ali was in his prime."

    So? People are often sentimentally attached to their own time. Ali went 154-144 for landed punches with a small Euro level southpaw and needed special help after getting banjoed by a 186 lbs left hook. He lost to a 5'11, 205 lbs Frazier at 29. At least Marciano was never defeated but I'm not going to say something ludicrous like he was "near-unbeatable". Same goes for Mayweather.

    "couldn't even train"

    So Ali was banned from training in gyms. If you say so.

    At least he didn't blow up 10 stone and become an alcoholic/drug addict.

    That " Getting banjoed by a 186 left hook" was getting hit by what was known in the game as ENERY'S 'AMMER Henry Coopers left hook was notorious. Ali was clowning & got caught only good corner work by Angelo Dundee got him to come out for the next round
    As for Mayweather his 0 is bogus Vegas officials & the NSAC were responsible for 4 or 5 "winning decisions " His fight making his claimed 50-0 victory was against an MME fighter making his Pro boxing DEBUT!!!!!!! ROFL Yeah a real TBE he was not

    Cool nickname but it was still in modern terms a post-rehydration LHW left hook.

    Ali got more A-side decisions and gifts in his career than Mayweather. My point wasn't that Mayweather was unbeatable (he wasn't, no boxer is even close to that because they aren't deities or fantasy heroes).
