    Yeah. Hate to have to rehash the discussion for you at this point. But nobody has had a problem with him naming Leonard as the more complete fighter. It was that he implied that Ali was all glitz and no substance. Addie has quoted that exact line for you, and that was the one I called him out on by saying I thought he had fundamentally misunderstood Ali.

    Are we clear now?

    Yeah, something must have broken down. This truly has evolved into a random conversation.

    ok i will actually respond...here is what Dundee said in his post saying ali was the best..he starts saying he was very skilled...good fighter..fast..all that ...but then he says this
    so he is saying that Ali's STYLE and his PERSONALITY and his being a SUPER STAR that TALKED, is what pushes him over into making him the best fighter....so basially he is saying its style and glitz that makes him the biggest star... so can we now please start attacking Angelo....:deal

    Non-comparable. You're reaching. You're likely to pull a muscle.

    But it was the uniqueness of his style and his personality that made him special. He was the first big man that moved. He was the first super star that talked.

    As opposed to saying,

    A lot of ali's rep was glitz, bouncing around without throwing punches, leg skipping etc. Leonard for his prime was the real McCoy.
    - Burt

    If you don't see how the two are different then I'm sorry, I can't help you.
