He was of my generation and saw plenty of his fights.
Rest In Peace.
He and Frazier were among best.

“He and Frazier were among best.”

Yep. Irrespective of all the rest of it, Ali was IMHO the greatest fighter of all time, exactly as he phrased it. Very interesting how style and match-ups also play into boxing. Frazier was also absolutely great, and his style was difficult for Ali, but easier for Foreman. On the other hand, Ali handled Foreman masterfully. Attesting to how great this generation of boxers was is the fact that Foreman was able to come out of retirement at 45yrs of age and regain the heavyweight crown.
