Was Muhammed Ali actually the Greatest Heavyweight Boxer of All Time?

[Anonymous]

I agree with that. He's phony and anyone who saw that match knew who really won.

In this video compilation, Mayweather appears to run 3 or 4 steps away to avoid Pacquaio's jabs:

Why of course it would be Manny Pacquiao for me.

I don't enjoy boxing and watch two people punch each other until they have battered faces and eyes too swollen they are shut. Dreadful. However, I followed Pacquiao because he was making my fellowmen and women proud when he was defeating his opponents abroad.



I vaguely recall Muhammad Ali but remember the time he got my Dad excited during his fight in the Philippines which was called "The Thrilla in Manila." I never followed him though and was not a fan really but I respected the fact he made a change from Cassius Marcellus Clay (named after the abolitionist with the very same name) to Muhammad Ali. I never understood it at the time but thought the man was entitled to pursue his heart's desire.



May he rest in peace.

Isn't he a senator now in the Philippines.

Yes, Fash. He is.

Yes, Fash. He is.

Just like the US, celebrities becoming politicians.

Filipinos like to copy Uncle Sam, Shen. That may be Uncle Sam but that's their brova. Haha!

When we first went to live in the Fils, Ramos was pres. From our selfish perspective, the country was quite safe for us for 3 years or so. Then a b grade actor ran and won. Things went downhill fast



While there was an Asian stock market crash along with generally poor economies, with his quite socialist policies added things really went south very fast .. so bad and people so needy that we did not feel safe on streets we previously strolled nightly. At that point we were in Angeles, generally a safe area for paleskins.



I think he ended up in jail after we left. Asia would better know the story as we had left just before the shit really hit the fan



We felt sad as we had seen it and its great people in comparatively good times

The problem is that the Philippines is so dependent on foreign remittances.

Yes, cc, that was Joseph Estrada. Some actor I never liked. Ramos was in the military too, General Fidel Ramos. I liked him. We were baptized in the same faith. ac_biggrin

Kewl!! Do you know anything about his policies?

[@realAzhyaAryola]

No but I can dig up something for you. I haven't lived in the Philippines for over 30 years so I have not been watching politics there that closely but I know enough from conversations with family and what I've read online.

[@realAzhyaAryola]

I also think Ali did not do anything remarkable so I'm not joining in the fuss over him. May he rest in peace.

Muhammad Ali is the most famous heavyweight boxer of all time.

Okay, I suppose you are right. He had that reputation but still I was not following him so I don't know much about him.
