This guy is ridiculous. He said Ali stood up for African Americans in a time AA didn't stand up? WTF?!?!?! Does he know anything about the 60s at all?
Not really, he has a claim to be the best ever, a legitimate argument can be made. And if you don't think you're the best, then competitive sports aren't in your alley. :nod
His arguement as the best ever is by far the most delusional arguement he's ever made Most of those world champions he beat wouldn't even be contenders in the era's Ali and Leaonard fought in His 19 yrs of cherry picking with a 2 yr hiatus for no reason also tarnishes his legacy Ali beat every top HW there was to beat be it punchers boxers you name them he never used excuses or said well this guy has this guy problems etc ... He is truly the greatest certified in the ring not self proclaimed like Mayweather And lastly his live gates don't mean **** to boxing fans all they care about is memorable fights Ali's has a ton can the same be said about Floyd oh hell no !! I don't have a problem with him ranking himself but if you have to call yourself the best ever that just speaks volumes when most fans laugh at that notion !
Because he went 48-0? Other fighters have done this. There can't be a legitimate argument made. Fighters used to fight back in the day and they should be commended for that with a ranking better than some guy who fights 48 times in his whole career. Let's see your top 20 ATG list.
The guys who made 48-0 are not even close to his legacy!! 25-0 in world title fights 5 weight world champion 12 time world champion 48-0 He's one of the best. :deal
