Ali’s last fights were ugly and looked like a younger guy beating up an old man who could no longer defend himself. It was sad and Ali took punches to the face and head that he used to slip and evade with ease. That’s how it goes! An older champion always tries to hold on too long.

      Stop the nonsense puh-leeze! Ali was indeed a great, great fighter, and I stand amazed at his ability to take punishment as well as his speed and ring savvy. However, Joe Frazier beat the snot out of him in both their first and third fights (have to review their 2nd), Ken Norton broke his jaw and without a shadow of a doubt got the better of Ali in their 3 bouts, ridiculous decision in Ali's favor at Yankee Stadium notwithstanding. His 1974 defeat of George Foreman is a bit suspect because George was at a low state in his career mentally, he was not at his best. Who's the GOAT of the heavyweights? There ain't one! They are all great fighters, they all beat each other and they all lost to each other pretty much: Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, etc, etc. They are roughly equal, all great fighters, Ali just out talked everyone else. It's the same with NFL running backs: Jim Brown, OJ Simpson, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, etc. Who was the greatest? The case could be made for all 4 - they were all amazing. Similarly in batting: Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Stan Musial, Ted Williams, Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Albert Pujols, etc, etc. - a lot of great hitters, perhaps no clear GOAT other than Williams. The only exception would be Michael Jordan, though, as he was definitely a cut or two above the other greats (yes, including LBJ). There's no way Ali could be the GOAT when he was so badly beaten by 2 of his contemporaries and there are other luminaries like Iron Mike he has to favorably compare to.

      @@jamespenny9482 he fought Frazier without boxing for 3 years his first fight and still was winning the first couple rounds. After he came back he was never the same dancing Ali. He lost his endurance and had to resort to relying on his chin power. Ali also beat the crap out of Frazier in their 3rd fight and Joe admitted Ali getting the best of their 3 fights (but he takes 100% credit winning the most important fight being their first). Ken Norton is the only boxer that can claim to have gotten the best of Ali. Even then, Ali was past his prime fighting Norton and managed a solid win (their 2nd). Ali went on to beat Foreman and Shavers, two heavyweights that destroyed Ken Norton in less than 4 rounds. Ali was the best of his time easily and his most important fights (Foreman, Frazier, Norton) we’re all after his 3 year hiatus from boxing. We can never truly compare cross generation fighters, but Ali was undoubtedly the best of his time

      Surly, Ali was NOT the most “mobile heavyweight” of all time! The man was a total mess, a Slobbering, Drooling, uncontrollable shaking physical mess!! Clearly, during Ali’s boxing career, his mobile skills were not good enough to allow him to escape the brutal punishment he absorbed in his FIVE LOSSES as well as other fights to prevent him from his horrible existence at the end of his life! Rocky Marciano on the other hand was a Master of Defense and of body and foot movement which allowed him to escape overwhelming punishment from his opponents! Rocky pummeled his opponents while for the most part escaping his opponents abilities to do the same to him!!!

Ali was “Duped” by the Lying Bastards of Islam and he stupidly bought into the lies.!!! 🤔😩 The original Cassius Marcellus Clay was an Abolitionist, a warrior against the injustices of Slavery. Cassius Clays Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandparents understood this and therefore named Ali’s Grandfather “Cassius Marcellus Clay” in honor of this Great Abolitionist man. Subsequently, Ali’s Father was named “Cassius Marcellus Clay” and Ali himself was named “Cassius Marcellus Clay VI” after the same Abolitionist “Cassius Marcellus Clay”.!!! Islam falsely told Ali that Cassius Marcellus Clay was a “SLAVES” name and Ali bought it “Hook, Line, and Sinker” …he was totally Duped by the lying scum of Islam.!!! That indicates Ali was NOT a smart analytical thinking MINDED MAN.!!! Don’t believe it? See the explanation on the link below from one of the Worlds Greatest Scholar Authorities on Philosophy, Religions/Theology Studies (Christianity and Islam among others), as well as Critical Thinking (The man, David Wood, is also funny as hell).!!! Don’t be a lazy, stupid man like Ali …watch the whole video lesson.!!! 🤔

    Muhammad Ali was a great and noble personality - no doubt! And Ali was indeed "the Greatest" Boxer of all time! His style ("Fly like a Butterfly and sting like a Bee") was so unique and his speed so amazing - especially for a heavy-weight Boxer, that no one can compare or mess with him. In this (first) fight against Sony Liston, Liston tried to cheat by ordering his Corner "to burn the gloves", meaning that they smeared the gloves in an ointment that would sting and temporarily blind Ali after a punch to the eyes. Nevertheless Ali was able to somehow avoid punches until the chemicals were out of his eyes. After that Round 5 Ali was able to see Liston again clearly and won the fight deservedly. I cant imagine another Fighter to survive such an unfair Round (against a hard Puncher like Sony Liston) and win finally! So in my opinion Ali was actually the greatest Boxer of all time! RIP Muhammad Ali! You will never be forgotten!!! You will be "the Greatest" forever!
