Greatest sportsman of the 20th Century.
A true loss.
Wow. Dont understand "trash talk"??. Ali was the master of this.Wasn't a fan personally. I mean sure he was great at his chosen sport but he bragged way too much for my tastes. His head seemed constantly up his own arse. I prefer my sportsmen and women to be a little more humble.
