@@chrismichaels6928 I do recall Mike saying about Mitch being on angel dust at one point, but then again even the champions of the 80’s were on all kinds of drugs, pinklon Thomas, Michael Dokes etc etc, the 80’s were one hell of a time and the two dominant champs being Holmes and Mike truly was a spectacle, and the fact Mike got Holmes out like he did does slightly throw a wrench in my idea of Ali beating Mike because of how similar there styles are, although you can chalk up a big amount of that loss to Larry’s years out of the ring I guess

@@liltonydeAngelo my father, who is a year shy from 80 years old, doesn’t like boxing either. Additionally, after Ali’s return in 74, my father was working about 14 hours a day, for 6 days a week. So you can guess his tiredness. Furthermore, when Ali had a match, those matches were usually made around 03:00 am to 05:00 am due to time zone difference. Even in that tired situation, and at that light time of the night, apparently (as I was yet to be born), he would wake up an watch the matches of Ali. He had a different effect on people, which made people who weren’t liked boxing to watch Ali’s matches. If your question wasn’t a rhetorical one, I hope I could have explained one of the several possible perspectives; which is “not liking the game but liking the player”, somewhat the opposite of the saying “don’t hate the player, hate the game”.

@@brianmeen2158 That is sad. That you think that Tyson is comparable to Ali.. Ali was bigger than boxing. He was a leader and a man of conscience. Early in his career, he did something I NEVER saw any boxer do. He was beating up an opponent, and he asked the ref to end the fight. He didn't want to hurt the man. He opposed the Vietnam War -- ending his career at the time. Ali was a man of character, to be admired for much more than his boxing.

I was never one for fighting as a sport.

He proved himself indomitable, honorable, ethical, seemingly fearless beautiful, intelligent and witty. He was a hero, those who believe they should fight, if called to do so by the leaders of their country, without question, will never comprehend. Some of us were born with a conscience and question everything. He was an exemplar of living with conviction , love, bravery & to the end had a sense of humanity and humor, no matter how serious the gov't tried to paint him in a bad light and deeply punish him as an example to others who dare. An example of strength , living clear in his convictions. I know there's no one who's perfect, but this man was and is an inspiration, his life a beacon. Thank you sir for shining a light.

In the end all that greatness, talent and charm grew fainter and dimmer till it extinguished completely, as if humanity needed to lose him in small doses. His funeral was a testament to the love and awe that the world felt for him. RIP good man.
