Message: [QUOTE="Towney007, post: 2957540, member: 5832"] I'd say BOTH guys have a lot of fairytale associated with them and a lot of marketing. Every guy does, and every generation that grows up with 'their guy' chugs it down. We're only human lol. And not trying to sound cheesy, but Louis and Ali's careers are similar in so many ways but in kind of opposite end-around ways it's kind of wild. -Both beat basically everyone worth beating -Both avenged high profile losses with higher profile wins -Were defined by politics in many ways -Had prime years lopped off due to wars Louis was obviously quieter while Ali wasn't but both won people over through dominance and success. Louis' star faded over the years and i'm sure Ali's will, too - but maybe i'm alone - but it's remarkable how similar they were. [/QUOTE]
