Say what you want about his religious idiocy, his name change or his politics, but you must admit that he was hell of a boxer.
Few men leave as much of a mark on their profession as Ali did.
The two greatest boxers of all time, Ali and Marciano.
We will never know which one was truly the best, but my money would be on Rocky “the Italian Stallion” Marciano!
I saw a wonderful computerized match up of Ali and Marciano.
Ali pounded Marciano for the entire fight. Marciano won.
The fight was acted out by Ali and Marciano, just before Marciano’s death in an aircraft accident.
Of course Marciano had nothing to say, and Ali, though he acted out his part very well, at the end objected, because a fighter as slow as Marciano could never have hit a fighter as fast as Ali.
It proved definitively who programmed the computer at that time.
