Muhammad Ali Appreciation thread.

Ali shoulda quit in 1974

Then we would never have seen the thriller in manila.

THAT MUTUAL BRAIN DAMAGE that resulted from that fight was a selfish thing for us to enjoy.

Ali should have retired after that 3rd fight with Joe.

WHOA !!

And miss that great bout with Jean-Pierre Coopman.

What Humanitarian calls another man a 'Gorilla'.

I do know a few 'Scum Bags' that do that though.

The same humanitarian that motivated and inspired many great champions such as Tyson and Lennox.

Only closed, grudge-filled minds continue to hate on Ali for his shenanigans decades ago, for which even the recipients themselves have long since forgiven him. Meanwhile these same closed minds choose to ignore the vast amounts of good will and good deeds that can be attributed to Ali.

Like I've said, it's a burden that must gnaw at the pit of the stomach.



Oh... oh..... here's Ali receiving the 2009 NAACP President's Award.

Boy, is that quite a stretch to connect the 'Dots'.

It had nothing to do with Cassius Clay's humanity that inspired Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis.

I suggest you read up on it.

- United Nations Messenger of Peace in 1998-2008, for his work with developing nations

- Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005, the United States of America’s highest civil award

[TitoFan]

[Master]

He visited Tyson in juvenile prison and inspired him.

Ask Lennox Lewis who his idol is He'll tell you in an instant Muhammad Ali
I was there many years ago when someone asked Lennox " Do you think you could have beaten Ali" Lennox smiled & said Muhammad Ali is my idol both in & out of the ring so the answer to that is NO"!!!
