From johnson to to dempsey to pep to ray robinson to ali . These guys were the first true super stars of boxing . Ali helped boxing become mainstream on tv .the whole world knew Ali without instagram and facebook.

Actually someone pointed it out in the Mayweather thread so I came here to see if it was true. And sure enough it was! These threads were posted at around the same time and look at the difference in response!
