Bob Foster ~ "I Wanted Cassius Clay In 1968"

[SlimTrae]

thx master..one heckuva' thread!


Props 2 ya Mr. Paxton for standing your ground.

I think it was Carl Williams? who said something similar about Tyson.
Mike stated they sparred. I was a kid, he was a grown man.
It seemed that Ali's fight with Foster turned out the same as Tyson when he fought williams both as men.
imo
..
A coward doesn't stand up to a government that allowed Jim crow laws to exist.
A nation that prosecuted no white men who proudly took photos with their lynched victims. Need photo proof?

A nation whose preachers..didnt stand up when black girls were bombed in a church in Alabama, and not by a jihadist movement or by muslims. these were christians
this is why Ali is known the world over from the Philippines to Africa.

Bar the conquistadors who forced christianity... and you will know much of the world are muslims.
hate it if need, but where does Ali go.... and isn't loved?
called a hero for standing up to a nation that passed an act excluding Asian immigration.
half century later was forced to allow blacks to vote A year after...clay won the title.

sorry to go historical on a boxing thread, but you invited me to respond... cause u took it there.
slimtrae KO round one.
