Ali wouldnt have used stuff like knee problems to continue on.Proof of this was when he was beaten by Fraiser.Ali hadnt boxed for a few years and had a perfect excuse to use for being beaten by Fraiser but he didnt use it and instead admitted to being beaten by a better man on the day and came back later on and beat Fraizer.In fact its that very same mentality that seperates legends of sport with good sportsmen.The same mentality that allows Ali to live so couragously with Parkinson disease,the same mentality that allowed Armstrong to beat cancer and win the Tour.McGrath doesnt have this,neither did Tyson.This is what seperates legends from good.there is a world of a difference .In fact i think if Ali hadnt boxed he would have being a legend at something.Its just written all over the man from top to bottom and each time i read something or see something about him,it makes me even more amazed at him and im not amazed easily.
