You shouldn't let your eyes be clouded by one man's Boxing Talent and Entertainment Value.
How much do you really know about Muhammad Ali.
Just what you read, which was by someone else's opinion. Or what you saw on Television.
That's not knowing anything in 'real' depth.
Have you ever met him Bill?, Have you ever shaken his hand?? Have you ever been in a room that suddenly went silent The Reason ?? The Greatest has arrived
Question 1 ......... Yes ........ Many times.
Question 2 ......... Yes ........ Several times.
Question 3 ......... No room ever went silent.
Muhammad Ali was no Joe DiMaggio.
Went 'Joltin Joe' arrived in a room, everyone was 'awestruck'.
There was a big difference between 'a class act' in a gentleman as {Joe DiMaggio},
and an 'entertainer' as in Cassius Clay.
Ali will be long remembered. He is an iconic legend that transcended boxing, sport and entertainment. There are reasons why he is a living legend written about long past his pro career.
Re: Cassius Clay vs Sonny Liston
Why are you trying to debate with him about Muhammad Ali? For all the sense you will get, you may as well debate Islam with a guy from ISIS!

I am hoping Bill will forget the day Ali did not sign his autograph and left him unhappy, bitter and twisted full on vengeful hate and bile.
Re: Cassius Clay vs Sonny Liston
Charles 'Sonny' Liston
Was more of a gentleman then Cassius Clay.
Sonny was gracious and cheerful, while Cassius was sullen and more concerned
about his own self.
When I went to one of the N.O.I chapter meetings in Chicago where Cassius was speaking.
He as very mean-spirited, and chastised you if you had a different view or opinion of an issue
that was not like his.
He was very 'thick' that way.
Look at the 'meanness' here.
