Was Muhammad Ali's 60s era really that strong?

    More competitors still make boxing more difficult to stay on top and increase competition. Ali was able to choose when and who he fought,and he did.He fought the two best fighters out of their primes (Folley/Williams) Liston was already out of his prime when when ali fought him. Overall he had a clear streak to go undefeated with far less talent in the 60's compared to how he fought,the only bump in the road was with Cooper which was a bit shady.

    I just listed all the weak opponents Ali faced during the 60s. We are on the twelfth page now, and not one single person has proved they were anything but weak opposition in a weak era. I think it is safe to say now I am correct.

    I can agree that relativly it was a weeak era compared to the 70's where boxing really blossomed. But still it was at a time where you only had one champion and that to me speaks volumes over how it is today.

    I mean Joshua calling himself a champion after getting a title that got stripped from Fury for no good reason is a joke. This upcomming fight vs Wladimir is for me and alot of other people his real championship fight.
