Take my word for it.
We named a fucking mall after him.
Decades after he retired, he's still the MAN.
Even someone as significant as Tyson, by comparison,
no longer gets much popular mention in street-level
conversation, or as a reference point for hyperbole.
From cab-drivers and barbers to taipans and scholars,
Ali still is the biggest name in common-knowledge and
enthusiast-level boxing conversation.
Pacquiao gets tons of love NOW, for sure... but anyone
trying to belittle Ali's stature compared to ANY active
boxer ...that's some kind of ******. ***** ******, even.
