And even those were paid for "Carnera Style". He was no better than Joe the Plumber at the game of boxing. Why wasn't he exposed for what he was? The truth is out there! Let's not forget that he was beaten by a blind Joe Frazier in their first fight. Joe was only a shadow of what he was in his previous fight, he had nothing left, AND he was still able to get the win from the hapless Ali. Few people know that Frazier took almost everything out of Foreman, Foreman broke all the bones in his arm when he demolished Frazier in their first go round, thus making it easy for Ali to slip by him in their fight. The ONLY genuine fights Ali ever had was with Berbick, Spinks I, Norton I, and with Larry Holmes. And to be honest, Holmes was only a shell of his former self after his close win, but complete thrashing at the hands of Norton. His other two "wins" over Frazier? Two words for you..."Blind" and "Blinder".
Don't even get me started with the circus shows of Lyle, Shavers, Bonavena, and any other so called "W" he has on his record. Doug Jones beat the bejabbers out of him, and Cooper knocked him out....if you don't count the 1/2 hour break they gave Ali to get back into the game.
That gold medal that he "threw in the river"?......You know why no one's ever seen it since? Because it never existed! The whole Olympics thing was a work of fiction created by Elvis, in conjunction with Space Aliens. Just play the third cut of the second side of Abby Road backwards it spells all of this out. (For even more of an eerie experience just play the White Album while watching the movie "When we were Kings" It explains detail for detail just how they got away with creating the entire work of fiction.
