I dont agree at all. I watched him recently against Chuck Wepner, and I thought his tactics were assinine. He backed up against the ropes and let Wepner hit him for over 2 minutes each round, then through a flurry of punches. I will admit that all his punches landed for the last 30 secs of each round, but based on his tactics I think he LOST the fight. I dont care for a fighter who is all flash. Yes he had the capability of being the best ever, but he was such a conceited ass that he definatley was not in my opinion. To me this ass Ali is one of the main reasons that sports today have become sad. It's all about mouth and hype, and that was Ali, mouth and hype. He was definatley one of the best heavyweights ever, but his actions and attitude were sickening and I personally find him to be the most deplorable sports figure throughout the history of sports. I know I will get slammed by all the Ali lovers out there, but with his media hype even today I guess thats to be expected.
