Bob Foster ~ "I Wanted Cassius Clay In 1968"

[TitoFan]

1959
" High school had bittersweet memories for me.i was coasting through at the top of the class of 365 people and the some skinny kid with glasses called l'il Willy Paxtom stole my work just before the Exam. With no prep work at all I Struggled in 363rd place . But the crazy thing was that l'il Willy P was so dumb, he forget to bring the prep work with him and finished 365th in the class, plumb last just behind Forrest Gump! Man, that guy stole all my work and still finished last behind some Gimpy guy who wouldn't stop running!
Anyway, when I found out L'il Willy stole my work, I tied one hand behind my back and made him fight me. Man I beat him up all day long and when he begged for Mercy, I pulled down my pants and made him kiss my ass."
Cassius Clay

Cassius Clay

"I shouldn't have to go to Vietnam. I can't even find it on the Map. I don't
think it's a State here in America."

[Master]

Most US citizens would have said the same thing at that time. You lot are not renowned for being the brightest when it comes to knowing what is outside of your own country.

[Bill Paxtom]

Not True,

Don't judge the American Intelligence on the basis of Cassius Clay's lack
of knowledge on the Geographical Aspects on country locations.

When told that he would be going to Rome, Italy for the 1960 Olympics,
Cassius asked;

"Does the Bus make many stops along the way."

True Story...

True Story...

Americans are insular and think the world revolves around them. Ali is a product of that.

[TitoFan]

Now I know the old man's full of shit.

Ali's well-known line about not going to Vietnam was about the Vietcong never calling him "nigger".

... and regarding his quip about Rome.... now Ali can't even make a joke?

I knew you were going over the top with some of those "supposed" quotes, Billy.
But now I see you're willfully taking them out of context.

Tsk, tsk......

[Bill Paxtom]

TitoFan,

Just how many Vietcong did Cassius meet in Miami Beach.

I'll answer that.............. 'NONE'

If he gave them a chance, I'm sure they would have called him a N****R.

Instead, they called him 'A COWARD'

True Story

[Primo Carnera]

Hey Bill , I met Ali yesterday, and he gave me a bag of sweets that he said he took off you nearly 50 years ago. He said he was feeling a bit guilty, because it was only meant to be a joke , but you ran away so quickly , screaming and bawling that he couldn't let you have them back .
He asked if I could pass them on to you, so if you send me a forwarding address , I'll get them posted to you.
Hopefully , then finally you will have closure on your hatred of Ali, and also have the comfort that albeit you were Shitting yourself, you also outsprinted the Greatest!
