Muhammed Ali - the idolizing begins

There is nothing like death to make a man greater than he was. Certainly Ali was one of the greater boxers, but he was not even the greatest heavyweight, let alone the greatest boxer of all time. And he was a draft dodger, and an obnoxious, self-centered individual who had to have the limelight. By his own estimation he was the Greatest, but not by any objective measurement. He certainly did not look like the greatest after Joe Frazier got through with him in their first fight.
