You know Ali tried to go into the army before right and they turned him down and when he became the hw champ all the sudden they try to draft him. I know being black in the 1960's was shit most likely and hell after he won the gold medal for our country they would not even serve his ass at a dinner know how fucked up that is. Ali had his believes and he stood by them and did not run and served his jail time like he was supposed to do so i dont hate a man for what he believes in. Ali has one of the best fighters to ever walk in to the ring was champ in the 60's 70's and even in the 80's when Holmes beat him. Ali was who he was a guy that had a larger then life image and who was a great fighter i mean who does not know who Ali is i mean fucking everyone in world knows the guy if wants to call himself the greatest so be it he backed it up enough.
Based on that analogy,
Nobody had the right to hate Adolf Hitler, because we weren't born when he was playing
'tag-your-dead'.

What.
That refusing to be drafted for the Vietnam War as a conscientious objector and making fun of opponents to help sell fights is somehow comparable to wanting to exterminate a whole race of people because you live under the twisted assumption that your own race is somehow superior to those you want to exterminate?
And by that comparison it's ok to hate both guys even if you were born after their time?
Is that the point you were making?

Tito Fan,
You are aware that Muhammad Ali hated 'white people' don't you.
As well as educated blacks.

I dislike Clay for many reasons , boxing is about opinions , he had his and I have mine.
Remember reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol .
Absolutely Right ........ ^^^^^^

I agree with Al here.
But some people just do not like to let others have their opinions. and if those people read the same opinion a few times they get their knickers all up in a right twist. they want to make the rules about when enough is enough. Now that arrogance is much worse than a person who posts in overkill mode on a certain topic.
Don't like overkill then don't read it it's that simple.
At that point they begin resorting to calling people hypocrites and then they try to get up on their moral high horse (for the good of humanity/this forum I am OH so sure MOOHAHA) and they start to become a self-appointed bastion of fairness and hypocrite-pointer-outer.
That is much more pathetic than someone who posts over and over on a certain topic.
The reason for the hate,
Because a good portion of the public realized that Cassius Clay was 'a fraud'.
Not in his boxing ability. But in everything else.
