I also think at the time he fought helped the legend of this monster he didn't have the mass media to show his softer side (like Tyson crying before fighting in the j Olympics) if there was I think he may have been more popular

Virtually every interview with his opponents they admit to being scared of him some still are.
Scared of a dead man... HA!
