    Even Arum knows it's not true, he's just trying to make a buck. Ali doesn't fight anymore so what's it to him.

    really dumb statement of course, ali's jab was magical and his right hand was great.

    even what you wrote is not as bad as what Arum really said, which is

    "Ali was essentially a one-handed fighter"

    Arum is a huckster.

    He is the ugly face of the corrupt business of boxing.

    It's a good ol' boys club where the stables are the work horses and they sit back and sell the fights and wine and dine the judges and refs and give them the nudge on how this guy or that guy winning is better for the sport and will bring in more money.

    Once they're done with you, like Arum was with floyd, they call you a coward and weak. (which I believe floyd is, but arum was too far up his ass to say that now)

    The 1960's Muhammad Ali was something very special and I can't see Manny being better than that version for sure.

    The 70's Ali is another story...

    I don't think he has to go THAT far though to say something like that as if the casual fan don't even know the greatness of Ali. :nono
