Muhammad Ali may be the most controversial and prominent boxers of all time. His life was filled with both struggle and adversity, but in the face of it all he managed to rise above each challenge one by one despite the odds against him. As a young black man growing up in rural America you can imagine already that it was tough. His life in boxing began fighting the bullies who taunted him and that ultimately gave him the drive he needed to become one of, if not, the greatest boxer of all time. When he was only 12 his bike was stolen while he was with a friend at a thret He was boiling with rage when he got the news, he encountered Joe Martin afterwards, a police office who told him to learn boxing before he thought of fighting anyone, especially in revenge. He eventually developed Parkinson's disease and Hernia, when asked in an interview if he had any regrets he replied "My children, I never got to raise them because I was always boxing and because of divorce,". He was always on the road with his boxing career, so his time with his children was quite limited.

How man fights has Muhammad Ali lost?
No... and Yes. A long-retired Marciano and a still active Ali duked it out in several heavy sparring sessions designed to break down their styles into various categories that would presumably have included ring generalship, punching arsensals, how each tended to attack and when, and how each tended to defend, etc. The info went into what I recall was an early compulter-generated fictional "fight of the . I think it aired on a TV show Marciano hosted in which he dissected all of his fights. I believe he won the fictional match-up, but could be wrong. I was about 11 years old, my father was a screenwriter not associated with the show, but a good friend of the producer's. So I was there for the filming of the TV episode -- but not the actual sparring sessions. I distinctly remember a quote from each fighter, but don't remember if they were passed on to me by my father, or his friend, Marciano's producer, or if I'd read them in an article perhaps years later. But the quotes remain vividly alive for me: Paraphrasing Marciano (on Ali): "He has the best depth perception I've ever seen. He sees a punch coming and he can slip it by a fraction of an inch." Paraphrasing Ali (on Marciano): " We're just sparring, but I'd get up the next day with my arms almost numb. He just pounds and pounds on your arms till you can't lift them anymore." These are childhood remembrances. It's true as best as I can recall off the top of my head. I should google it for details and perhaps corrections in my memory, as should the fightfan submitting the questions. ---- Not really. Rocky retired in 1956, but in 1969, when Muhammad Ali was big, boxing specialists wanted to see whether Rocky would beat Ali if they were both in their primes. The specialists fed info on the boxers' fighting styles, strengths, and weaknesses into a NCR-315 supercomputer as formulas. Then, they had Marciano and Ali spar around 80 times for film footage. Later, the NCR-315 computer said that Rocky would win the match in the 13th round by way of knockout. Last, the specialists spliced together the film footage to fit this end. The fake fight was broadcast only once in 1,500 theaters on closed circuit television. After he watched the film, Ali said,"Man, I bet that computer was made in Alabama." In 2005, the fight was released ton the public on a DVD called "The Superfight: Marciano vs. Ali".
