Yep, it was amusing when he would say " bless him, he may give me a good game" Ali was also arrogant talking about his opponents, but he ended up being sportsman of the centuary.
I was sad to see Taylor go out. He is a legand. 16 times world champion at 53 years of age going for no 17. He is in the ranks of Ali Bradman, Woods etc. Enjoy him while he's around, they dont come round often.
