Not Quite, Before Ali , there was Jack Johnson who used to talk **** while he was whippin some ass, Although Ali is probably the GOAT though.
The question isn't "whos the greatest trash talker of all time?" The question is based on this scenario: In the build up in a match between Ali and Tyson, both in the 'primes' of their mouths... Who would win the war of words? To put it another way, who would step into the ring that night with the psychological advantage? :good
This is one of the reasons why Ali/Tyson prime for prime would be the biggest event in boxing history. Not one of the biggest but The Biggest event in boxing history. In the war of words I give a slight edge to Ali. He won't make Tyson shrivel up but he will be a little more enteraning.
Ali would face them all from every Corner, he talked **** and backed it up. Don't compare him to Floyd:hi:
Ali was the greatest at it...but I prefer Tyson...everything the guy said was priceless...my person favorite is "I haven't ****ed my wife in months! Why? None of ur damn business white boy but I haven't ****ed her in months."
Hatton's old trainer said it best when referring to Mayweather's trash talking...Floyd thinks he's gonna be remembered like Ali...but he just sounds like a *****...Floyd's **** talking isn't clever at all.
Prime vs. prime I don't think either would be able to psych the other out. Both were just too damned confident. Ali was the better talker but playful - Tyson was more intimidating.
How the f*ck did Tyson even get any Votes? The Great Ali used to SING to his opponents about how he's gonna knock them out and goes out there and delivers!! I mean who thinks of **** like that?? Imagine being one of his poor opponents at a Press Conference..that must be some depressing **** knowing this guy is gonna knock you out and here is f*cken singing about it........lmfao over and over
