    so he got floored by Chuck Wepner.
    Even if thats true, that means he got floored, like, 4 times in his career. 4 times! and straight up each time.

    And you are questioning his ability to take a punch.
    We should put you in the ring with Foreman for 1 round, your opinion would soon change.

    Not really my friend. Most of the people who speak like that dont know **** about boxing. A lot of us on here box for self defense,fitness or just a hobby.
    This guy just doesn't understand. His whole argument was "Ali got dropped by Wepner." TheWiseJester acts like he is smart but he doesn't know the history of the sport and he doesn't even fight. His fat ass never even laced 'em up.

    Ali was dirty? Every fighter was dirty dumb ass. Nice biased opinion.
    Hopkins headbutts,Tyson throws elbows,Foreman pushed and held,Holyfield headbutts,Wlad clinches. All of those tactics are dirty and not allowed.

    Ali still beat the most ATGs and is till the only man to win the lineal title 3 times and once when he was way past his prime against Leon Spinks.
    Deal with it you biased cocksmoker.

    Ali was racist? Yeah I have a felling YOU ARE THE RACIST AND YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BOXING.
    Ali's close friend and trainer was white. Ali didn't hate white people and nowadays he helps out charities all over the world and helps causes for all different types people. He's a great man and all you are is a short fat racist punk ***** in your basement on your mommy's computer. You're a piece or worthless human **** and we all hope someone does a good thing soon and ****s you in the mouth *****.
    You just been owned scumbag. Burn in Hell.:good

    GOAT for what he did inside the ring and as one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century.

    Funny seems like every one Ali fought was an All Time Great? Frazier,Foreman yes,but seems like people exaggerate his other opponents..

    Liston is an ATG HW and ATG power puncher. Patterson the first 2 time HW champion, schooled by Cus D'amato,fast, powerful and tons of heart. Patterson is an ATG. Not top 10 but in the top 30.

    Shavers was not an ATG HW but WAS an ATG power puncher.

    And he beat Liston and Patterson twice each.

    floyd patterson would have been a great cruiser in later era's, he was basically undersized in a lot of fights but still did pretty well for himself.
    Holy vs patterson would have been great.

    Oh yes it was, maybe over the years Ali's undeserved hero status made controversy go away, and other decisions he got undeservedly tok away from Shavers bout, but it was a robbery. Not as bad as Norton fights, but Shavers deserved it.
