    Because he said he was so he must be the greatest. Oh, and he talked to God every day.

    What I said, he didn't lose in his bid to regain the title.

    No, he drew. And Wilder ain't Frazier. Seferi ain't Quarry and Pieneta ain't Bonavena.

    Ali's 2nd career is definitely better than Fury's.

    Exactly, he was robbed though and that can't be said for Ali.

    This is the equivalent of someone in the 90s fighting
    Lewis
    Holyfield
    Tyson
    Bowe
    Foreman
    Morrison
    Tua
    Byrd
    Golata
    Moorer
    Ike
    Mercer
    And any other name u could think of at the time. No one will ever face everyone like that again

    I think even the most slavish Ali sycophant should be able to agree with this.
