Ali was a worldwide figure. Heavyweight champ was a global award. Bigger than anything the NFL could produce. NFL football still isn't big globally 40 years later. And why do people act like being hated doesn't contribute to popularity? It's not only the people that like you, hate counts just as much. You could argue George Foreman was bigger in '74.
cool

the comment was about American popular figures.

Also, a lot of people didnt like Ali in America. You cant ignore that.
