Ali was a mediocre heavyweight fighter as compared to the best heavyweight champions in the history of boxing.
Membersw of the media who never had a fight with their own sister sold Ali because he was supposedly against the vietnam war.
You obviously do not know much about boxing. I’ve watched the the greatest fighters of all time, including Sugar Ray Leonard, Rocky Marciano, and footage from fights of Joe Lewis. Leonard, who idolizes Ali, emulated Ali’s style and tactics.
If you want to go to school, review young Ali’s fights from the early 60’s Olympics.
