It is believed that Muhammad Ali (who was born and raised in Louisville) received that nickname from his former trainer the legendary Archie Moore early in his career. (Moore had 220 fights between 1952 and 1961 with 185 wins.) Ali was often boastful and taunted his opponents, predicted the exact round in which he would knock them out and has numerous quotes to his name. The sportscasters like Howard Cosell loved him and his famous 'Rope-A-Dope' routine.
