Not to disrespect but I think Tyson in his prime would've taken him down. I saw both their styles. Tyson was simply ferocious and took out most of his opponents within the first round.

Ali was the greatest in boxing only. Not much a citizen of this great country.

It is if you put forth the effort to make it that way. He sure did.

The level of competition Ali faced was greater than what Tyson faced.

No One Died In Vietnam For Anyone's Freedom

Ali was a man of conscience, stood up to a corrupt war and a racist draft system, then took his punishment like a man.

Oh, yes they did - for S. Vietnam. There was a draft then. Few wanted to be there, but they went because their country ordered them to; yet, Ali was able to say, "no, I won;t go," while other young Americans were dying. Then, because of a dumb Congress and President, we decided that 58,000 lives weren't worth anything, so we gave the South to the North. Yes, I'm one of those who felt betrayed!

"You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won’t even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won’t even stand up for my right here at home."

He was a great man, and will be missed

I loved when he gave the rubber monkey to Joe Frazier


Jun 4, 2016, 10:36 AM [ in reply to Re: RIP to the Greatest of All Time ]

in the press conference and called him an Uncle Tom and a gorilla.


He can be your "Greatest", but he wasn't mine.

The most important athlete the planet has ever seen


Jun 4, 2016, 10:15 AM

and the only athlete that is arguably bigger than his sport

i wish the media would stop whitewashing his "parkinsons"


Jun 4, 2016, 10:18 AM

symptoms. He wasn't suffering from Parkinson's disease. He was suffering because he boxed way too long. Even by the mid-70's, his doctor was refusing to certify him for fights in this country because Ali's hands were shaking. Then he inflicted 10 more years of boxing on his brain. let's please stop acting like boxing is a noble endeavor. It's basically just a slightly faster way of getting brain damage than football is.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

yes. His last 3 or 4 fights


Jun 4, 2016, 10:26 AM

should not have happened. His last ever fight you can even start to see the signs of parkinsons. He is not nearly as quick and there is something off about his taunting too.

Yeah, I know how old he was.
