What i admire most about mohammed ali is his moxie and boastfulness both in and out of the rain. And his courage to stand up against an unpopular war. That made him hated by people in the right and you supported the war. All the great matches of his career including his ine like thethrilla manila and the rumble in the jungle. Certainly one of the first boxers that sort of promoted himself. He combines sportsmanship. I think he combined a little bit of the entertainment.
