Ali had his believes and he stood by them and did not run and served his jail time like he was supposed to do so i dont hate a man for what he believes in. Ali has one of the best fighters to ever walk in to the ring was champ in the 60's 70's and even in the 80's when Holmes beat him. Ali was who he was a guy that had a larger then life image and who was a great fighter i mean who does not know who Ali is i mean fucking everyone in world knows the guy if wants to call himself the greatest so be it he backed it up enough.
Everything you just stated,

Was released by Cassius Clay's press people, to make him look good in the public's eye.

Cassius 'never' wanted to go into the United States Military, unless it was as a 'Spaceship Commander'.
