What cannot be denied is that Ali was involved in some of the best fights that anybody will ever behold. Those wars unfortunately left Ali a shell of his former self after he was retired from in-ring action, but they did help create a legacy that will live on for generations.
It should come as no surprise that some of the best heavyweight boxing matches to ever occur involved Ali and the man who was his fiercest rival. That rivalry existed for decades after the two last met in the ring, and some would even claim that the other man involved in this feud took his hatred for Ali to his grave. While that is a shame, everybody involved in the world of combat sports would do well to remember that rivalries and feuds sell fights and sell pay-per-view cards. Ali knew that, and he wasn’t concerned about hurting feelings or making enemies when he was promoting a fight. That is one of the many reasons Ali truly was “The Greatest.”
10. Ali vs Quarry I
There are certain things once must remember about the first fight involving Muhammad Ali and Jerry Quarry. Ali had been suspended for roughly three years over his decision to not fight in the Vietnam War, and thus he was tasked with shaking off ring rust heading into his bout against Quarry in 1970. It also should be noted that Ali was not beloved among many Americans who saw him as a coward for not fighting for his country. Ali was unmoved by all obstacles, however, as he took care of Quarry in three rounds as if he had never been suspended.
