Anyone else as gobsmacked as I am that Ali has been mentioned in the same breath as this pair?

Well, Ali was the template for all of the crap we get in the build up to fights these days I suppose. However, although someone like Joe Frazier never really forgave him for some of the things that were said before their three fights, Ali's efforts to sell tickets for his fights tended to have a bit of wit and style about them and they did feel fresh and novel at the time - it's all so tired and formulaic these days.
