    Ali was dirtier fighter than anyone you mentioned, and dumbass, do you not want to recognize he was ALOWED to fight dirty? He choked Foreman with forearm in clinches a few times, thumbed Ernie Terrell to point where he almost lost vision in one eye. But you find him entertaining , so we'll cal it ok.

    The reason people seem to think Ali is a racist (I think), is because he was against racemixing.
    But that doesn't have to make you a racist.

    If Ali hadnt existed, Liston would still be a great, so would Patterson, so would Frazier and so would Foreman.

    Nobody exaggerates his other opponents, he has a good selection of wins over a good selection of opponents, hence why Muhammad Ali is the Greatest (heavyweight) Of All Time

    And his resume is head and shoulders above Louis. Ali would beat Louis H2H as well.

    Louis is not beat Liston, Foreman or Frazier, Ali beat them 5 out of 6.

    Wepner stood on his foot, a trick he learned from Liston, when have you ever seen a fighter go down from a bodyshot and show no sign of pain at all no sign of wincing on his face , no putting his arms to his side and falling flat on his back. **** me
    the footage is here

    can you show me any indication that Ali was hurt, the way he fell looks like he was tripped for Gods sake

    I don't think Wepner stood on his feet, unless his feet are a lot bigger than I thought.
    Probably just fell.

    Completely agree. Specially now that Ali is an ambassador of good will.

    Foraman was hitting Ali in the neck and terrel was hitting Ali low throughout the fight. But seeing as they lost no one mentions it. Don't be a prejudiced *****.

    Yeah that was what Ali said,but hey stepping on his pinky toe made him almost fall out the ring huh? After he got up he had to rest on the ropes and the ref had to grab his gloves he didn't bring em up himself,so yeah he was hurt at least for a short time..

    This is a prime example of people exaggerating his greatness,by not even admitting he got knocked down once,no big deal but made my point..

    If Ali is overrated then there's not a boxer who isn't.
