    I mean, a bit overrated in that there are guys on here who think that he is head to head one of the top five ever, and there is nothing in his wins that indicates as much.

    However, his resume was incredible for his day. He fought the guys that Patterson ducked...

    Ali couldn't crack an egg and made him his footstool. Excellent arguments sir.

    The above poster is not my alt.

    Muhammad Ali obviously wasn't a power-puncher in the Liston/Foreman/Louis mould
    but your sweeping dismissal of his punching power is utterly absurd.

    It's his barely literate texts that convinces me he is trolling.
