    Atleast Ali wasn't intelligent at a lot of times.
    Laila Ali (Ali's daughter and also a boxer):

    "His strategy was for people to beat on him to tire his opponents out."

    and

    "He had an unusual ability to take punishment. Ali sometimes took delight, to take blows."

    Howard Cosell, sports journalist

    and

    Ali during the training for the Larry Holmes fight:

    Q: "Ali, Why you keep getting hit?"

    Muhammad Ali: "I want to get accustomed to the blows."

    Laila Ali and Howard Cosell describe what everyone can see who watches a full Ali fight (not some Youtube clip): His strategy was to be hit until he had out-staminized his opponent.


    I don't call out staminizing highly intelligent.
    I don't want to insult Ali, but his parkisons is most likely thanks to his strategy.

    Johnson was a selfish *****, who wanted to be the only black heavyweight champion in history. He was likely jealous or envious of Louis because Louis was popular.

    If this was so ,why would Johnson offer his services to Roxborough ,and Black offering to tutor and train Louis, stating" I CAN MAKE THAT BOY A CHAMPION"?

    One contradicts the other.
