    A better Ali wouldn't have been dropped by Tire Iron Jones in sparring.

    I agree with you that many of the threads on this forum ask imponderable questions that make no sense in the real world.

    My question is: Would Ali have been better if he'd been better than better, or bitter and better, or badder than better, or bigger and better, or even better than butter?

    Well, I have no doubts you're @Boxed Ears...(Certainly not after this thread, unless he's carrying a satirical contagion that's infected you - I don't want to catch whatever this brain bug is. I'm crazy and weird enough already without it...)

    Okay then. But you're a former mod here, so I suspect you may know how to apply illusionary trickery...

    It's possible,in fact if he'd got even better then I can say we'd have never seen such a better looking Ali... ever!!

    If he spent his exile under LSD hypnosis by Cus then we would have seen the ultimate Ali, Frazier still would have taken him though
