    I can understand calling him overrated or an azzhole. But hating him, I can't just get. The man did alot for the boxing world. He seems to get more hate then love these days online. He did alot of good in his life. Much more than bad.

    I don't think any sensible boxing fan does hate him.

    Every fighter has their haters, and Ali was controversial enough to have his fair share.
    But it's cyclical, like it is for other fighters too. Like most other fighters, Ali's popularity on these boards and others ebbs and flows, depending on the 'trend' at the time.

    I can't understand why any fighter, including Ali, gets "hate", but you've done your fair share.

    In retrospect, he was often an ass--- and made many comments that hurt people (Frazier's children being called 'apes' on the playground but one example) but his legacy is beyond question. OK, here I go again but we never saw the summer of 67 - summer of 70 Ali. I'm a big critic of his 2nd career despite his accomplishments, but anyone that doesn't have him top 3 ATG heavies is pissing in the wind. I still say he was the best.
    Feel free to rank him any way you want.

    He cured me of rickets in '76. Which did not make up for rendering impotent in '67.

    It was a Racist world back then buddy. Ali apologized many times. He was wrong for doing that. If he could go back, I bet he would be alot nicer

    I don't sense a lot of hate towards Ali on this forum, or in the real World, true when he was active he could be an azzhole , the way he acted towards Frazier, and the way he talked down to people, but as Ali got older and sicker people see more of a softer side of him.

    He did homie. He called Ali a mixed n- . He said he was barely black. Made fun of his religion. It all made the beef bigger. Those two names are going to be like Cane and Abel lol.
