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 main****** on tv .the whole world knew Ali without instagram and facebook.

His had the most charisma of all the greats. Pretty footwork , an iron chin , a great jab and was as tough as nails. Forever Legend
