To be fair, Louis never did any real "fighting" and was never expected to. He did boxing exhibitions and talked to the troops to boost morale. There are tons of celebrities who went over to Iraq to do the same thing, and we don't say that they were over there fighting for their country.

With Muhammad Ali, he was going to be handed a rifle and dropped in a jungle to kill or be killed.
Yes i agree with you totally he was a coward for not answering the call up.
So you would go to war for a cause you do not believe in? That is not being a coward that is courageous. He gave up his title and millions of dollars for a cause he believed in. He was proved right.

Why is it that the people who say that they hate the stuff surrounding Ali always mention it the most? Ali beats Joe Louis too fast, quick and slick.
