Hopefully he can attain what is needed via peaceful measures.

I can't wait for @Max Power 's new thread:

"Ali or Klitschko -- Who Is The GOAT Political Activist?"

[Max Power]

Hey great idea! However that's probably not necessary. Ali was more of a "political terrorist" than activist.

Vitali joins the government

Ali joins the black panthers!

I see no need for a thread!

Ali wasn't a Panther he was in the Nation of Islam....he broke the law by dodging the draft

Would ya look at that... @Max Power --Wrong again! HAHA!

[Max Power]

Yeah yeah, ok, black panther, nation of Islam, who cares... They're all scum!

Anyway that was a bit of a fish, Muhammad Ali had some faults to be sure but he did an enormous amount to promote the sport of boxing.

As for this business with Vitali I could care less about the politics of the Ukraine. All I can say it's good to see a great boxing champion go on to achieve high office. Whoever said boxers were dumb!

[Master]

Vitali should retire and do this full time.

[ykdadamaja]

He's tall. Sniper's are a dime a dozen. Just saying! :-/

UPDATE:

Clashes broke out today, Jan 19, 2013.

Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko attempts to calm the crowd after the Ukranian gov't passed a series of undemocratic laws.

[Master]

That was deliberately aimed at Vitali, he was going to rip that persons head off.
