I like it. He’s edgy, knows he’s pushing buttons, but is saying it with tongue in cheek, too, knowing it’s silly but serious. 

I grew up in the 70s watching or listening to his fights with my dad. My dad loved him, and consequently I did too. Today’s boxing game is a poor replica of that age of boxing. The Frazier and Foreman fights were so, so big in American culture. Nothing today even comes close in boxing/MMA. 
The Ken Burns doc on Ali on PBS is very well done. Highly recommended.

I was born in 1974, so really didn’t grow up during his career, but as a young kid I understood the reverence that prior generations associated with Ali, in a way that we haven’t with another athlete since, for better or worse.

Him lighting the torch in Atlanta in 1996 is one of the most powerful Olympic memories in my lifetime. 

Sorry for the diversion. Resume lol’ing.
