I agree with this. People let their personal opinions of Ali cloud their judgement.

Joe Louis did get beat by a couple of white dudes though.


I never saw Ali in a fight, but I saw Tyson in many. He was merciless. There is a reason why Buster Douglas beating him is the greatest upset of all time.

I don't know what happened to him by 1995 but Evander Holyfield making him his bitch has tainted Tyson's legacy.

Tyson had a legit shot of being the GOAT. RIP D'Amato

Tyson is one of the most interesting sports figures of the last century IMO. Dude is very intelligent; I would highly recommend watching his documentary.

He couldn't cope with D'Amato's death and went off the deep end. D'Amato was the only person that he trusted/Tyson would listen to.
