Who's the most charismatic boxer of all time?

Ali by a landslide. I think some people need to look up the definition of charismatic.

 

De La Hoya was a very good boxer but it was his chrisma that made him a star

 

On 2nd thought, I gotta retract my Sugar Ray Leonard call, then. You're right. I totally overlooked Ali's longterm & global impact. Regardless of what people may think of his [shifting] political, religious, & moral ideology, Ali is an ICON. & a lot of it had to do with his charisma. I remember hearing Cus D'Amato say that to Tyson in the Tyson documentary [something along the lines of "he was so great because of his personality"].

To this day, the minute he enters the room at an event, he'll get a standing ovation.

 

Ali hands down.

 

Ali obviously, honourable mention to Roberto Duran

 

Definetely between DLH and ALI. I chose DLH because he was watched and became the PPV king not just for his skills, but because of his charisma. ALI was great, but he could be out of line in public many times.

 

TYSON?

**** off

 

So, you really found Tyson to be charming? He was very personable when not enraged in the media & definitely a compelling, intriguing person, but I wouldn't call him charming. Maybe he was to Robin Givens at one point...

 

I think JCC and Tito may deserve a mention though I was also thinking Ali

 

Charisma is the last thing that comes to mind when thinking of Tyson

I'd have to say Muhammad Ali.
