Bob, I do remember Ali. Remember listening to his first fights on the radio. Muhammed Ali was a great boxer, but at one time, in the beginning, many people hated him, and there is no question in my mind he would have been a greater "star" had he been the humble type. The best doesn't always mean the greatest.
It was only after fans realized that his talk was a big part of the show did the world fall in love with him. He became "Great" only after his personality changed. Only when he got both sides of the ring to respect him. Tom

It was that arrogance and self confidence that rattled many of Ali's opponents, particularly in his early years as a pro, when he was at his peak. It wasn't just an act. It could be argued that his attitude was the driving force behind his greatness as a fighter.
But art is NOT about making fans fall in love with you. In art, popularity is not a measure of greatness. |
