The Louis. It seems to be only "Muricans" who love the AlI (aka dickhead) persona. 'Muricans' love their dickheads for some reason.
What are you on about you spaztic? Are you trying to say that people who don't around acting like a tit don't have confidence in themselves? What an utter dumbass. Sorry if "da hood" has taught you that to get "respect innit" means you have walk around with a swagger and act like an arrogant, egotistical blow-hard. But news-flash for you sonny-jim, it doesn't. You can have plenty of self confidence and be a good guy. Just look at Wlad and Holyfield.
I didn't say anything about the hood idiot racist. And anyway Holyfield is from "da hood" here in Atlanta dummy People can act anyway they like punk. So go cry about it like the b.itch u are!
Why am I a racist? Because I don't like the way blowhards like Ali and Broner act? What a ****ing pleb... You've got some growing up to do, son. Maybe then you'll realise that in a civilised society, educated people such as myself tend to look down upon those who think acting like dicks is "cool". Maybe it is, if you're 12. But when you hit your 20s/30s and still act like that or think acting like that is the way to be. It's kinda pathetic. Way to go with the childish insults, kid. Very well I'll content to be a "*****" and just live safe in the knowledge that whilst I have a career where I can go home every day and feel proud that I've made a difference. You have a career where you can go home everyday and wash the fast-food smell from you're overalls
Don't play dumb with me fool, ur a racist. I know what u meant by in "da hood". Who u think ur fooling I have a career in fitness chump not flipping burgers lol And like I said people can act however they wanna act Mr. I don't like when black men are confident and say how great they are Go cry in the corner
You race bait like a **** and then call anyone who challenges you childish. **** off, you're clearly a racist.
i like the sonny liston persona ONLY BECAUSE the ali persona (though my favorite) is only good if you can back it up.. and alot of the fighters simply cant...
The later Tyson would be a hybrid of 2 and 3. There may have even been a period; while D'amato was still alive, when he could've been considered something of a 1, at least in terms of public image. You can't classify people in this manner.
You're one seriously dumb, arrogant, racist mother****er. Also, my favorite archetype is the Ali/Mayweather kind of fighter. This coming from a white man who's not from the US.
Definitely the liston persona, these are boxers not diplomats I like the bad mofo's especially when they shut up the Ali types
