Ali was witty and intelligent, he was having fun and made it fun for the fans. Guys like Rolly are just vulgar and foul mouthed , trying to be shocking to get a reaction. I prefer what Ali did , by miles.
Conor McGregor is a seriously poor man’s version of Ali. Kids nowadays don’t get it, Ali talked but he also spoke out on the important issues of the day concerning civil rights, war, social issues altogether. McGregor gets drunk and punches old defenceless men and has a penchant for being accused of assaulting women. If McGregor had not been Irish he would have been vilified by the same people who love him
Even though I think he's overrated as a fighter, I loved Ali's trash talk. And he was hated in his time, too. Of course the fact that he was loathed by white America has been erased from history.
Rolly is ok but he seems a little off. When he does interviews he often ignores the questions and acts weird. Now he has to rebuild his career so we will see.
Not surprising Biaggio got into MMA considering his relatives:
Muhammad Ali - grandfather (one of the all time greats of professional boxing)
Rahaman Ali - grand uncle (Muhammad's brother, journeyman heavyweight pro boxer)
Laila Ali - aunt (Muhammad's daughter, Hall of Fame professional boxer)
Kevin Casey - uncle (Muhammad's son-in-law, former professional MMA fighter)
Khalilah Ali - grandmother (Muhammad's ex-wife, 9th degree Karate black belt)
Nico Ali Walsh - brother (low level pro boxer)
