Anybody grow up watching Ali in his prime

[TBear]

I imagine it being like a Steph Curry in this day but even bigger and keeping it up for a decade.

A thousand fold!!

Nah.

And randomly if you haven't seen AKA Cassius Clay yet this would be a great time to check that out. Its one of my favorite Ali projects. Him & Cus D'Amato shoot the ****. I wish there was 100 videos out there of them shooting the ****. Its great.

I am slightly older, but my family always watched boxing on TV, Howard Cosell 0n ABC's wide world of sports.

I remember watching the Vietnam war on TV.

Don't remember Vietnam too well. I remember Nixon giving his wave and getting in the helicopter. Ali fights were the sporting pinnacle of that decade for me. The 80's were not near as good. I remember one title fight Ali attended around 83 or 84 and the crowd erupted with Ali Ali when the camera went on him ringside. The dudes in the ring didn't matter. That's a true legend.

I know Curry wasnt really a good example it would be more like Jordan at his peak possibly even bigger.

I remember many of his fights, he was definitely very special. It was a pleasure to watch him fight, even though I was a Frazier fan at that time.

Not old enough, I grew up in the Tyson era. Wanted to ask the guys that remember, what was it like when Ali fought on TV? I mean, was it like a Superbowl type event where half the sets in the US are tuned to it? Or, was it just a big boxing match and it's been made it to be more than it was in retrospect?

Ali was a draft dodging, arrogant loudmouth who was a bad representation of the black community. All in all, he was a warrior inside the ring but a coward outside out of it. Condolences to his family.

Steph is the biggest name right now maybe in all of sports. I even said Ali was much bigger.

Haha, Steph Curry is only known in countries who actually follow Basketball. Ali was known THROUGHOUT the World.

My parents would watch him in the 1970's going to whoever had a TV in the neighbourhood in Pakistan. My mom said Ali always won, no matter what. I can't imagine that happening with any other boxer or athlete in Pakistan aside from their own cricketers like Imran Khan who is an idol there.
