I wish I was alive to watch him back then..! That would've been great..!!

Without question the greatest personality of all time.

I remember when I heard Ali telling that well known reporter who didn't think Ali stood a chance to win against Foreman:

''Well, I asked your wife, and she told me you're not the same man you was 2 years ago! ''

I laughed my ASS off when I heard that one the first time around :rofl:

Dude, without a doubt that's one of the best documentaries I've seen regarding Ali & Foreman.. Shows everybody.. Don King, Foreman, Reporters, boxing historians.. Heck it even got James Brown in it!

To truely be the greatest you gotta have Charisma.

bull****,If that were the case then Max baer is a certain top 3 heavyweight of all time.

Then you tell my why people ***** when the champ is ''boring'' people *****ed when Jermain Taylor took over because he was ''the most boring champ ever'' and the Klitscho's get no props even though they knock everybody the **** out because ''they're stiff, robotic eastern european fighters and boring champions'' If Charisma means nothing then answer me why people ***** about these things.. If ALL that matters is knocking people out, then answer we why so many poeple don't give a flying **** about Vitali.

Don't worry, I'll wait.

The mainstream audience don't give a flying **** about safe boxing quiet fighters. They want flashy performances and an outspoken champion with Charisma who is good infront of the camera..!

You don't believe the.. Well lets take a look at some flashy/****y/Charismatic champions:

Ali, Tyson, Leonard, Mayweather etc

Now lets take a look at those who don't speak out the loudest

Klitscho's, Taylor, Hopkins, Holmes (one of the most underrated HW's - wonder why?)

You see a pattern? The masses gotta have love for you. It's the fans who makes the fighter in many cases.

and than there is the soft spoken DeLaHoya who was the biggest money maker ever outside of heavyweight.

Charisma isn't being the loudest or most shocking, its a presence.

Virtually ever sports personality talks trash these days.Yet nobody gives a flying f*ck about them so being ****y,arrogant and flashy doesn't mean a damned thing,because it has become so overplayed that the public see right through it

Ali is one of the greatest because he simply transcends boxing . His charisma and personality gave him crossover appeal thoughout the world . Even people who dont like boxing love Ali .

Are you KIDDING me???

Are you seriously telling me people like Mayweather and ESPECIALLY Haye didn't get noticed because they talked the loudest? Being outspoken sells tickets and gets you fame which again means $ my friend. That's why you got people like Mayweather talking **** about pretty much everyone because it makes people notice him and therefore sells his fights! That's what he's good at, even Dana White says it.! Floyd is good at promoting himself. If nobody gave a **** then you tell my why the NSB section goes crazy everytime floyd comes with a new crazy statement :lol1:

The camera loved DLH. Dude had good looks which made him the womens favourite. No surprise there. People loved DLH because he was the good looking good guy.. That's why he got praised throughout his career even though he lost all his biggest fights. You think the public would have been that kind to a guy like Hopkins or Wlad had they lost all their big fights?

I do, however, agree with you about the bolded part. Sometime a fighter just got that presence that's larger than life.
