Yes! Thatz the guy.

Some of these fighters need someone like that, there is no shame in it. Hire him as a motivational speaker, assistant or something.

Ali used to put on quite a show and Bundini fit right in with that. Some of Ali's antics were pure fun and craziness, but he did have a bit of a cruel dark side like when he humiliated the slow-talking Joe Frazier at every turn. Anyway, I totally agree with your main point. Personality is a big part of being a big draw and lack of personality is a serious handicap.

Yeah, you are right though. If Ali said some of the things he said then now, they will backfire. He made all kinds of remarks but back then the culture wasn't so upright with a huge social media influence were anyone can have a major voice in just minutes.

Yep, it was a different world.
