I’ve seen movies of Joe Louis. I think he was the best of his time. My opinion of the absolute best was Ali in his prime maybe even when he was Clay.

Ali is scum. He joined the Nation of Islam, taking the Muslim name “Muhammad Ali.” The Vietnam War then interrupted Ali’s career. In 1967, he was inducted into the military, but he refused to serve, saying his religious beliefs forbade him to fight. While some Americans praised Ali for risking prison to stand up for his beliefs, others called him a draft dodger and traitor.
