Interesting!
Since you decided to read and understand what you want, I'll explain it to you: I said I don't think he was THAT great ("that" being the keyword).
My view on him as a boxer and my view on him as a human being are two different things. The fact that I don't consider him that great as you do is...

Ali himself claimed that he didn't lose that much speed as people thought, and his feet looked okay against Quarry. In fact, that version of him,...
In his first 29 pro fights (before his suspension) Clay went the distance only 6 times, and fought 15 complete rounds only against Chuvalo and...
Joe Frazier fits pretty good in this category.
I believe Senor Pepe posted more than enough in this thread to make anyone understand why Thad Spencer deserved a shot at Clay's title. You keep...
