Well Kendall, you'll never change my opion of Ali. Yes, Norton beat him as did others. The fact that he regained his belt three times and was champ when the heavyweight division had guys like Norton, Frazier, Foreman and many other top notch fighters says a lot about his pride and determination. Let's not forget that when he was at the height of his career it was all taken away from him because he stood up for his beliefs. Clay/Ali had dignity, something which is sadly lacking in Don King's circus.

I saw in today's paper that the victorious Lewis is looking to fight Tyson. Too bad. Since Lewis decided that he is British I've had a bit of a problem with him, but he does seem to have a lot more class than a lot of the heavyweight clowns out there. But King makes his fortune with Tyson, King calls all the shots, so I guess Lewis will have to climb in the ring with the Animal. I won't be watching.
