Although you have a good point that people need to relax when they call intelligent fighters like Florian and Machida "cowards" when they employ their stick and move strategies you need to get off your high horse by calling all of us idiots.
You CANNOT equate what Ali did to Foreman with what Florian did to Huerta. Ali rode the ropes for 5 five rounds taking a beating from Foreman as oppose to the stick and move strategy you speak of with regards to Florian. In the case of Ali, he wouldn't be considered a coward because he took a massive beating. Did you actually watch the Ali/Foreman fight or did you just catch the highlights from one of the many Ali biographies?

1) I'm not calling all of you idiots. The idiots are people who consider themselves true fans yet don't respect MMA fighters that don't fight like drunken frat boys.
2) I have seen the Ali/Foreman and he didn't take a lot of damage. In fact, the announcers were saying how little damage he was taking in that fight.
