      Derp. I was using Ali as the reference, I put that so people wouldn't use '59 Cassius Clay as the benchmark. I meant the more outspoken political activist Ali. Thought he was in jail before he won his appeal, my mistake.

        If he could get his side team to poison his opponent before fighting them... then maybe you're right?
        George Foreman wouldn't lie for no reason...
        Ali was affiliated with Don King one of the most crudest, controversial boxing promoters ever.

        And now on topic, Ali's outspoken nature would not be applauded as much as it was back then in todays era...
        It would only site racial tension.

          He'd easily be the biggest star in boxing, bigger than Tyson, DLH, Mayweather, etc. Not even close. An electrifying ****tail of skill, ability, achievement, personality and charisma. But haters gonna hate.

            The same as Wlad, just switch around what posters are saying what.

            He'd be an ultra mega star in America, though. Biggest draw in the sport.

              In the cruiserweight division or heavyweight division though?

              Would the likes of "fat bums" people keep on slating of the HW division finally get some respect and suddenly morph into world class opponents in those individuals minds to compensate the fact people want to say Ali is the biggest asset in boxing?

              Very legit questions tbf.

                Ali was a child of the civil rights era in the United States. It helped to shape his persona and his political stances. If he were prime today, Ali would be a product of today's world. It's impossible to imagine exactly what he might've been like in that light, but the basic elements of the man would remain. Ali would be a media darling, a huge star with effortless crossover appeal.

                  He would have lost to both Klitschko Brothers by now

                    After Ali gets KOed by Wlad, they'd call him a bum and ridicule him like they do Wlad's other opponents.
