    Do not listen to bill's bull. The fight was real. Ali at his best.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    In your 3rd sentence, you got the young fella's name wrong.

    It was Cassius Clay on February 25, 1964.

    Check the signature on the contract.............. Cassius Clay.

    Ali legally changed his name. Sure it was Clay then but it is Ali now. Check yourself. Don't correct others when you are continuously erroneous.

    Hold on, you pulled 'a boner' there Mr. Lineal.

    Cassius Clay started calling himself 'Cassius X' first. Stealing that moniker from Malcolm X.

    He never legally changed his name at first.

    Make a note of it.

    Cassius X is not stealing from Malcolm it was what was done by the group. Just as if someone uses Sugar in boxing does not mean they stole it from Ray Robinson.

    Did Ali legally change his name or not? I think you'll find the answer is yes.
