    Wilder is obnoxious and yells BOMB SQUAD to no ones delight but his own.
    You become popular by getting people on your side. Not by treating everyone
    with contempt. A little humble would go a long way.

    Because Ali and Tyson were p4p once in a generation type talents and Wilder sucks ass. He has no boxing ability and relies entirely on his power. America has enough shitty boxers to idolize over at UFC and at least those guys are good at wrestling. A boxer who's **** at boxing is just an embarrassment and deserves to be an object of derision.

    Ali modeled himself after Gorgeous George early in his career. He wasn't modeling himself after Gorgeous George when he joined the Nation of Islam and started espousing their beliefs, or when he turned his back on Malcolm X and gloated when X was murdered, and dumped his first wife because she wouldn't join the religion, and allowed people close to him to be beaten by members of the Philadelphia mosque because they thought Elijah Muhammad was a fraud, and when Ali insisted whites and blacks be separated, or when Ali spoke at Ku Klux Klan rallies because they had the same beliefs as the Nation (separation of the races) and didn't change his ways until Elijah Muhammad died in 1975 ... when his son took the group into more of the mainstream.

    And he wasn't embraced by most of the country during this time.

    Denounce my post? This is common knowledge.

    The KKK was invited to Nation of Islam meetings. And vice versa. It was widely reported in newspapers throughout the 1960s.

    Ali joked about his speech he made at a KKK meeting while he was the heavyweight champion of the world .. it's included in the documentary Thrilla in Manila.

    Go to around 25:30 and hear it from Ali himself.
