You've never been the type who could read between the lines, so I wouldn't expect you to get it now.

He came from a time when blacks were fighting for basic rights and respect. He was just as hostile towards other blacks he felt were just letting it all be. He didn't like other fighters like Frazier, Patterson, Ernie Terrell and others due to that fact and made his feelings known.

Hey... Thanks for winning the US that Olympic Gold... now get your ass in the back of the resturaunt.

I mainly did not like the hot dogging and rope a dope bullshit, and there was a cruel edge to some of his antics. I dont respect that shit.
He often told of how is act was inspired by Gorgeous George. It was to sell tickets. Controversy sells. Whether people come to see you cause they love you or hate you, you're still putting a lot more asses in the seats than anyone else.

Like it or not Rope a Dope was an effective strategy for him, not sure if he'd have beat Foreman without using it.

Sonny Liston and George Foreman were both heavier hitters than Tyson and the level of competition in the golden age was way greater. Ali would beat Tyson easily.

Hard to imagine Tyson trying to cut off Ali dancing for 15 rnds.

His half white grandson that runs a 4.3 and is a 3 star recruit kind of goes against that.

So the Ali family has their own version of Despbro? Well I'll be damned. Where is his cafe racer?

I think Tyson would've beat Ali.

Have you guys seen that Tyson documentary? Awesome!

Probably my favorite boxer.

I don't know man... Ali faced guys like Liston, Frazer, Foreman... Mikes best competition beat him...
Ali was smart in the ring... Could take a lot... Would have let him punch out and went to work on him later.
IMO... Ali was a master at making you miss.
At 6.3 235... Fast as hell... The man was no joke.

Holmes beat him but someone who cared about Ali should have never let that fight happen. Ali was already showing signs of his affliction.

Ali literally referred to white people as the devil. Just think for a second about the UPROAR if a white athlete called black people the devil. You're not being objective if you deny this.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. This is stupid. You completely ignore the time frame all this shit was happening. FFS, sports writers were openly mocking the way Roberto Clemente spoke broken english during this time, and you're upset that a strong black man had the courage to take a stand against the status quo? The **** outta here.
