Why did Harry Carpenter call Ali his slave name Cassius Clay?

[AdamGB]

Watching Ali v Frazier 1 and I'm getting a little annoyed on Harry Carpenters commentary, he keeps calling Ali by his slave name Clay.....is it due to the fact that Carpenter was ignorant to the name change or was it just ignored by the media?

Carpenter was still a legend but found this to be disrespectful to Ali

Thanks in advance!!!


job biscuit (enjoying a bit of nostalgia)!!!!


eh!!! eh!!!!

You get annoyed because you don't know why he called him clay...
We get annoyed because we don't know why you keep using that shitty catchphrase...
...life goes on.
