Who was the best trash talker of all time?

“This is the legend of Cassius Clay,
The most beautiful fighter in the world today.
He talks a great deal, and brags indeed-y,
of a muscular punch that's incredibly speed-y.
The fistic world was dull and weary,
But with a champ like Liston, things had to be dreary.
Then someone with color and someone with dash,
Brought fight fans are runnin' with Cash.
This brash young boxer is something to see
And the heavyweight championship is his des-tin-y.
This kid fights great; he’s got speed and endurance,
But if you sign to fight him, increase your insurance.
This kid's got a left; this kid's got a right,
If he hit you once, you're asleep for the night.
And as you lie on the floor while the ref counts ten,
You’ll pray that you won’t have to fight me again.
For I am the man this poem’s about,
The next champ of the world, there isn’t a doubt.
This I predict and I know the score,
I’ll be champ of the world in ’64.
When I say three, they’ll go in the third,
10 months ago

So don’t bet against me, I’m a man of my word.
He is the greatest! Yes!
I am the man this poem’s about,
I’ll be champ of the world, there isn’t a doubt.
Here I predict Mr. Liston’s dismemberment,
I’ll hit him so hard; he’ll wonder where October and November went.
When I say two, there’s never a third,
Standin against me is completely absurd.
When Cassius says a mouse can outrun a horse,
Don’t ask how; put your money where your mouse is!
I AM THE GREATEST!”

Ali by far

 

I'm sure there are more Ali fans in this forum than there are Mayorga fans. I bet most voted with their hearts.

 

that sounds premeditated and rehearsed like a pop song's lyrics

Mayorga had the ability to spit right on the spot.

 

It's a disgrace that you have Mayorga, Mayweather and Haye in the same list as Ali.

Mayorga talked talked and got his ass handed to him for it. Haye talked trash the most for one fight(W.Klitschko) and showed up without a plan to fight but survive and go the distance. Mayweather's trash talking is nothing compared to Ali's.

 

Has nothing to do with backing it up. Just pure trash talk.

 

What happened to funny yet creative trolls.

 

Aren't you still here??

 

Oldtimers are always overrated :yep

 

Mayorga resorts to simple name calling and stuff that any 13 year old could do.

 

Again its called "trash Talking" not "Poems for the night"

 

deal

 

Yes but the stuff i've heard from Mayorga is like the stuff you hear from 13 year olds on xbox. Its called Trash Talking and honestly Mayorga is just a little kid compared to Ali

 

Premeditated and none of Mayorgas was.

 

Get Floyd and Haye the **** out of this list. Should have Toney somewhere in that list instead.

Either way, Mayorga takes this. :deal

 

For people saying Ali was more comical apparently haven't watched the Terrell "Whats my name" fight. Or Joe Frazier. Neither were laughing.
