As A.J. Liebling so famously said about Ali after watching him beat Snny Banks," "Honest effort and sterling character backed by solid instruction will carry a man a good way, but unearned natural ability has a lot to be said for it."

Or as Jose Torres said " Ali does everything wrong but somehow it turns out right."

not nearly as gifted?
