I had to come full circle on Ali. I absoltely hated him when he first showed up. Everybody did. It was his mouth. The press called him the "Louisville Lip" among other things. But then all his BS started coming true. He'd write goofy poems predicing the round he'd take a guy out. He actually had to carry one guy for a couple of rounds just so his prediction would come true. He was a true character with fabulous talent. I read somewhere that his face is the most recognized around the world. And now everybody loves him. Even Frazier.
