Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

I never gave much thought about appreciating Cassius Clay.
He was just an athlete who was pretty good in his sport.
Cassius Clay holding none other, than a 'CHICKEN'.

This is just sad. @Andre puts an appreciation thread of Ali up and Pocos Bill has to then come in and attempt to crash the party. He attempts this by using an unjust war that nobody wanted to fight except guys like Nixon fearing a fabricated big red tide. The irony to this attack of course is that in the end, Ali was vindicated and history has made his case for him. For many others like Bill, the amount of hindsight is 20/20 medicine must be toxic.
Why do you use Ali as some racist example and not write about that Nazi Henry Ford or that scum bag authour Jack London? I mean if you want to revisit racism in boxing then revisit it. Don't use one event in time between two fighters in a brutal sport who were both black with one calling the other one a gorilla for the cameras. That is what a simpleton does.
If you dont have anything to say in a thread of appreciation then dont say anything at all. We all know how you feel. Its redundancy on steroids. We get calls all the time about returning you to the village. You like asshole books? Here is one I recommend just for you.![]()
Prime 1966 Cassius Clay versus prime Joe the brown bomber Louis
One time Clay ate 2 steak dinners in midtown Manhattan after Joe Frazier gave him a ride all the way from Philly.
