Chief, i'm not going to argue with you, I don't think it's the right time.

I agree with you, although in boxing i think it's impossible to compare and contrast different eras and weights.

If i had to, from the many, many days i've spent watching old footage, i'd go Ray Robinson, utterly beautiful to watch.

I never said personal pal.

I don't think his family are reading this.

I know, I did. He fought against racism for people of his colour. But was racist against "darker" black people.

It's strange how racist, anti Islam foke are happy to forget they stance if people can kick a ball, punch someone or sing.

A contradiction, an inspiration, a man of courage and conviction, a man with human frailties and foibles, a man of huge charisma and above all.....

The Greatest....

RIP

"Rumble, young man...rumble!"

OK, as you're talking about people being anti Islam, I'm assuming you're not talking about Ali, so who are you speaking about here?

Sugar Ray Robinson was probably the greatest fighter of all time a class above anyone else

Have a bit of respect the blokes just died.

What your not allowed to have an opinion because someone died everyone has different views id rather people spoke there true feelings than be phoney which usually happens when somebody dies

'No Vietcong ever called me a n#gger'. A reasonable reason to not go slaughtering people who he had no argument with FOR people who would happily lynch him.

As for Sheldon's idea that he was racist. Really. A very simple interpretation of a very complicated world of American race politics in which he grew up.
He helped and gave to people of all races. A remarkable man.

Liston got destroyed in their first fight. Even tried to blind Ali to slow him after that he threw it in because he knew it was only ending one way. Like Tyson biting Holyfield to avoid a second beating Liston chucked it again as he was getting another beating in the return. 'The job's threw lots of fights which you'd never know about until after. Ali destroyed Liston's mind then backed it up in the ring. Liston was a mess after 2 rounds.

Best boxer. Him, Ray Robinson, Jack Johnson. Unforgivable Blackness is a remarkable read of Johnson's life. Did it all 40 years before Ali.

World was a better place with Ali in it.

War is murder to make the rich richer and keep the ants suppressed !!!

Looked like a great boxer from footage I've seen . imo tyson when his head was on straight would have cleaned him out , but I know boxing has changed over the years so know one will ever know.

just old school as far as people passing away, I like to respect the old fashion values, am not saying he was perfect and I disagreed with a lot he said, but there we go,

Fighters ruin there reputation by taking fights they never should Ali should have never fought Holmes Holmes should never have fought Tyson and Danny Williams didn't deserve to be in the same ring as Tyson never mind beating him IMO Tyson at his peak would have destroyed anybody

Interesting argument about who was the best. We shall never know . But wouldn't it have been good to see Ali and Tyson in the ring at the height of there powers.Imo Ali had to much speed for all the heavyweight challenges and would have seen.tyson off but I wouldn't have put my house on it.
