Ali was first; but his fame in boxing helped impact boxing the same way jordan did to basketball, the way people played..carried themselves and attacked the sport was adjusted by his popularity/performance.
some purist say micheal ruined basketball, because people got hung up on dunking, dropping huge amounts of points, and things of that nature.
my question do u feel Ali did the same, where his talking, charisma impacted boxers; i mean so many guys try to be slick and talk fast and attack an opp w/insults to break him down.
secondly his habit of pulling head back, dropping hands, showboating, talking sh*t while fightings..
agree disagree muhammed ali impacted boxing as a whole and to some degree, negatively; as soo many people want to showboat, talk ish b4 and during a fight and some people leaning on athletic ability more so that tech fine tuning
