    Sorry, but I don't get your logic at all in your first paragraph. It doesn't even make sense.

    Your second paragraph doesn't make sense either.

    Your last paragraph doesn't make sense either. WTF are you even trying to say?

    Just take Ali at his best. Not you personally. Stop matching him when he lost to Norton or Frazier or Holmes or Berbick or Spinks. Use the absolute best Ali. Many think it was the Ali who was undefeated and made 8 title defenses from '64'-'68', while others thought it was the Ali who went undefeated from Sept of '73'-'78'.

    Ali was a great fighter but is very over rated today. Like any sport, boxing has grown and is much changed from days gone by.

    Sorry, little buddy. You said you'd kick my ass. I offer to have a meeting at my gym (or yours) and give you the chance. You wimped out. What a surprise. The offer is open. I'll even let you watch a video of a fight I was in a couple of months ago on Youtube, if you let me watch one of your epic matches, lol.

    Anyway, if you stop being an internet p*ssy, who makes threats then pusses out....let me know. Until then, go back to your coloring books.

    The bottom line is that nobody could defeat everybody.

    Give me your top 20 all time heavyweight list, and #20 would have a shot at beating #1 unless he was at a serious stylistic disadvantage i.e. Liston Paterson or Frazier Foreman. If #20 can’t do it, then just give me leeway to pick a guy two places either side of 20.

    So Ali might well be the greatest heavyweight of all time, both in terms of resume and head to head, but he does not beat everybody.
