  • George Pope from Richmond Bc CanadaCatchy beat; I kind of figured it was tongue-in-cheek, buyt why not? As above, Mohammed Ali, by any other name was a grandiose personality who did a lot to put heavyweight boxing on the viewing for a new generation. . . Irt did for me -- I really was into watching during Larry Holmes time, & got bored with Tyson, especially after the ear thing. . .Good one, Seventhmist!
