Lol.

Big Ogbez, but you can't discount the role Islam played in his transformation and the transcending larger than life iconic figure he became albeit it was the Nation of Islam doctorine which has more to do with black consciousness - than the generic Arab Islam. Prior to meeting Malcolm X and subsequently converting to Nation of Islam - he was a vocal/loquacious great boxer on his way to greatness.

However, after Nation of Islam and Malcolm X, he became the face of a struggle and the biggest draw in a demonised doctrine, due to his star power. And the struggle shined through his exploits in the ring, his voice/opinions etc.. The legend of Ali transcended boxing/sports and that right there is Nation of Islam. Also, one of the greatest things we'll always remember him for was the Vietnam war and that had to do with his consciousness, not his skills/talent. Heck, he said one of his greatest regrets is the fact that he never reconciled with Malcolm X before he died, after they fell out cos X left NOI.

Have you read his autobiography? That's a must read and one of the most inspirational books I've ever read. After reading that book - I vowed never to say anything negative about him till I go 6-feet under. I recommend the book; Steve Biko's autobiography; and the Malcolm X movie by Spike Lee (I won't recommend Malcolm C's autobiography cos Alex Haley wrote some shady things there).
I have seen the Spike Lee movie on Malcom & also a couple of his docs.. I ll check out the book..
Prophet Elijah Muhammed really influenced Ali... Of course we can't take that away, but you know how peeps here are quick to bring up religious sentiments on every issue.. I had to shut that Kleb up

Tyson would have been greater(if not for his indiscipline)....he could dispatch opponents in one round ...but Ali had a longer and better career.

I go with Ali.

You never liked him or his fights?, why?.
It's not a must to like an athlete, you know? Still didn't take away from his talent or achievements. I always found his fights boring and his brags over the top. Probably because boxing in his era didn't look as refined as it does these days.
