  1. For year's, I didn't like ALI, when he was a young boxer, but as he aged, and retired, I realized just how great he really was. I too, now think he IS the GREATEST.

  2. He was fantastic in the ring, often dropping his arms and taunting his adversaries. His face stayed pretty.

    I'm not sure which fight, but I think his first one with Sonny Liston, the weigh-in became mayhem, with Ali (then Cassius Clay) screaming and shouting at Liston. The officials were so upset by Ali's behavior, that they had a ring doctor check him out. His blood pressure was normal. It was all an act. Until Sonny kissed the canvas.
