A lot of boxing elitists here think it's cool to hate on Ali because of how incredibly popular he is with the general public. Elitism nearly always breeds distaste for the 'mainstream' opinion, and some discredit him just because it gives them that kind of elevated air. The ironic thing is that all they accomplish by doing this is to underrate the man in just as extreme a fashion as the people who overrate him in the general public.

Perfectly summed up.

Yes the general public overrates him, because in their mind he shoots lazers out of his eyes and can fly, but he is still one of the all time greatest fighters, and strongly in the running for greatest HW.
