Re: Muhammad Ali Appreciation thread.
Only closed, grudge-filled minds continue to hate on Ali for his shenanigans decades ago, for which even the recipients themselves have long since forgiven him. Meanwhile these same closed minds choose to ignore the vast amounts of good will and good deeds that can be attributed to Ali.
Like I've said, it's a burden that must gnaw at the pit of the stomach.
Oh... oh..... here's Ali receiving the 2009 NAACP President's Award. :)

It had nothing to do with Cassius Clay's humanity that inspired Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis.

So Ali should needlessly go to a war in a foreign country where he does not know where it is and why he is going because some politician decides it is the right thing to do?

Ask Lennox Lewis who his idol is ??? He'll tell you in an instant Muhammad Ali
I was there many years ago when someone asked Lennox " Do you think you could have beaten Ali" Lennox smiled & said Muhammad Ali is my idol both in & out of the ring so the answer to that is NO"!!!

Re: Muhammad Ali Appreciation thread.
This is just sad. @Andre puts an appreciation thread of Ali up and Pocos Bill has to then come in and attempt to crash the party. He attempts this by using an unjust war that nobody wanted to fight except guys like Nixon fearing a fabricated big red tide. The irony to this attack of course is that in the end, Ali was vindicated and history has made his case for him. For many others like Bill, the amount of hindsight is 20/20 medicine must be toxic.
Why do you use Ali as some racist example and not write about that Nazi Henry Ford or that scum bag authour Jack London? I mean if you want to revisit racism in boxing then revisit it. Don't use one event in time between two fighters in a brutal sport who were both black with one calling the other one a gorilla for the cameras. That is what a simpleton does.
If you dont have anything to say in a thread of appreciation then dont say anything at all. We all know how you feel. Its redundancy on steroids. We get calls all the time about returning you to the village. You like asshole books? Here is one I recommend just for you.http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...oleruleweb.jpg

Re: Muhammad Ali Appreciation thread.
You know what makes me sick ? To see guy like Bill calling Ali a coward & a draft dodger.
Now I do not agree with Ali's religious beliefs BUT I admired the way he risked everything even his life for them. He could easily have gone to Canada if he just wanted to dodge the draft. Or ENGLAND like our illustrious future President Bill Clinton did But he stayed to face whatever punishment they dished out to him
Just think what happened to him in 1960. He went to Rome Olympics came back a hero with a gold medal. Was invited to the White House for dinner with the President.
A few days later he went into a diner in his hometown Louisville Ky & asked for a cheeseburger. He was refused service told to go to back door & get it as take away.
In a week he had dinner with the president but was then denied service in a diner purely because of the colour of his skin. As he said What good is that gold medal when I'm not considered good enough to eat a meal with you. No wonder he threw it in the river was it??
To me Ali was a brave man & in no way cowardly. He'll always be The Greatest to me

Re: Muhammad Ali Appreciation thread.
C.J. Rock,
I have never called Cassius Clay 'a coward' or a 'draft dodger'. Never.
Now, I suggest you search to see where I posted those words.
You will be looking for a long time to find those words.

I called Cassius 'a greedy coward'. And, a true coward.
He was also a Draft Dodger. He told me himself, that he didn't want to go.
And that he wanted to 'worm' his way out of serving Uncle Sam.
