To the muthaphukka that said....
TheSheriff:
One phrase...
Rope a Dope Trick
Ali may not be the greatest-Sugar Ray Leonard is also in there, as is Sugar Ray WhateverHisNameIs, and Foreman and Frazier weren't bad...
But Lewis, though a good boxer, is nowhere close.
Ali, at first relied on speed. When he got older, he got incredibly tough. That's why rope a dope worked.
Also, it works on a scale. Lewis takes legal steroids, Ali didn't. Lewis would be artificially stronger.

::) ...we could debate this for weeks...but you bring up a good point...this is the greatest era of heavyweights...its just the public doesnt cover boxing like it used to (like when cashes clay was fighting)...and lenox lewis is by far the best heavyweight...and its not just his size...its his skill(lenox lewis not fast????) and technical fighting ability....his reach is tremendous...and his jab is the best ever...and his power....the only way anyone will ever have a chance against him is with one punch power(his two looses were one punch wonders)....i think cashes clay was a great fighter...but not even close to be the best(his politcal influences gave him tons of coverage and him constantly running at the mouth)....5 loses are 5 loses...and he was out boxed in those fights...and in only the larry holmes fight did i think he was too old...lenox lewis is 37 now...and i dont see him getting mopped up by anyone because of his age...and seeing cashes clay now...who do you think go the best of the ali-frazier fights???.....i'm not really even a fan of lenox lewis... but he doesnt get the respect he deserves...boxing isnt nearly as popular as it once was.....30 years ago boxing was the second biggest sport(baseball#1)...m-dogg..i do respect your opinions but i just think you're living in the past and wont except that todays athletes are superior to that of 30 years ago

legal steriods???....you really have no idea what you are talking about do you....what do you mean prohoromones, creatine, ephedrine ::)...these are not steriods or is anything on the market now unless you get them illegally....and you forgot to point out that 30 years ago d-bol, deca and other currently illegal substances where legal and where used by athletes in many many sports, and where much much more potent drugs compared to the sporting supplements used today...im not saying cashes clay used them....but he could have and no one would have known
TheSheriff:
You mix dumb insults with normal conversation well. Your training is complete, my dumb, I mean young, apprentice.
And yeah, he could have used them, but he was a Muslim most of his career. He went to prison and probably got raped for his beliefs, why would he break them to win a dumb boxing match?
Anyways, Rocky Marciana is the greatest.
verbalassaulta:
yes we agree marciano is the greatest
and as i thought you know nothing about sports nutrition or steriods
