> Saying you're "the greatest" just because you're pretty good at punching people? Get back to me when you've won a Fields Medal, dude.

If there were such a thing as a Fields Medal for boxing, Ali would have won it. He wasn't just "good at punching people", he brought in techniques that changed the sport.

It's fine that you are comfortable being as ignorant about boxing as most people are about math. That's your prerogative. That said, dismissing someone's accomplishments based on your ignorance is a shitty thing to do.

No, what I'm saying is that punching people isn't a worthwhile endeavour.

[neotek]

You are not the grand arbiter of worthwhile endeavours.

[awj]

Ah, so you're dismissing people accomplishments based on your opinion of what their doing. That's also ... classy.
