I love a good read of fiction now and again! Thanks for providing same! And Pseudonym's are not outlawed here. (yet).

However going back to the record books I notice that except for the first five you are in error according to the official record.

And of course there is always room for opinion as to past errors in judgment. E.G. Frazier and Jumbo Cummings....A goodbye gift to Frazier for turning in such a great and entertaining career.

Some of your examples can be somewhat defended as close fights and of course all decisions are based on judgment. The second Frazier fight is not really that close, (though I have always been thankful that the ref put the kabosh on Ali attempting and nearly succeeding in KO'ing Frazier in the early rounds, in order to preserve a great trilogy fight! not to mention that it would have cut the evening's festivities a bit short on that night.) Frazier had more than just Lady Luck in with him on that night!

And if "The One is Here" (who allows you to use his computer) were here I'm sure he would likely agree with me on this.

What about the second Sonny LIston fight? Ali could have been disqualified.

Someone ban this moron. I dont know how anyone except someone looking for trouble could claim that the second Spinks fight,the Shavers, bugner,evangelista, second frazier, and chuvalo fights could be seen as Ali losses.

Whoever it is I think that the guy is entitled of his own opinions. I also see that Ali had more than 5 losses, but thanks to the stinking judges and the promoters like Don King, he was preserved more than he should have.
