Ali-Fraizer was a big fight, but not hte biggest fight ever, Dempsey and Louis also had fights that captured the hearts of Americans and people world wide maybe even to a greater degree than Ali ever did.
Robinson had plenty of big fights at MSG.

No way, even televised, almost every American was listening on Radio to Louis-Schmeling 2, the Dempsey fights. Ali was very much disliked for his stance on the war. He wasn't as popular as Louis or Dempsey as popular as he was. He's just more recent. I mean way back in the day Dempsey drawing million dollar crowds, and that was like a decade into the 1900's. Nowadays that would be the equivalanet of probably over 500 million dollars, and that was without PPV.
