Only emotional, sensitive little girls actually took his taunting seriously.
He obviously did it to get under opponents skin and psyche them out.
Joe Frazier is a prime example because he is soo ******ed he actually is still traumatized by Ali rhyming "gorilla" with "Manilla", "thrilla", "chilla" and "killa". It haunts him till this day and it is pitiful.
Ali was a master self-promoter.
He was also involved in many rigged fights.
