Are you talking about the current decade or the 1960s?

Because Ali was the most disliked and unpopular athlete in the entire United States during the late 1960s, and was viewed as a rude obnoxious trash talking unlikeable human being.

In fact, if you look throughout history, the best fighters have usually been brash, cocky and controversial. Floyd Mayweather is no different personality-wise than most of the great fighters throughout the years.
People forget what a jerk and a racist toward his own people, he was as well as a contoversial political effect he had.

They only see him as a feeble old fella who commands sympathy cause he is stricken with a debilitating disease.

I'll venture to say that if Ali was 100% healthy without disease he would still be arrogant and abrasive
