The leftist media sopped up his anti american marxist rant when he was draft dodging. They turned him into an idol and I firmly believe that that also lead to biased decisions in the ring. I cant count how many fights he won on decisions that should have gone the other way.
His stupid Roper Dope was another fabrication to cover up his lack of preparation for fights. He should have faded out shortly after knocking down the way-past-his-peak Sonny Liston
