Muhammad Ali Appreciation thread.

One time Clay ate 2 steak dinners in midtown Manhattan after Joe Frazier gave him a ride all the way from Philly.

You know what makes me sick ? To see guy like Bill calling Ali a coward & a draft dodger.
Now I do not agree with Ali's religious beliefs BUT I admired the way he risked everything even his life for them. He could easily have gone to Canada if he just wanted to dodge the draft. Or ENGLAND like our illustrious future President Bill Clinton did But he stayed to face whatever punishment they dished out to him
Just think what happened to him in 1960. He went to Rome Olympics came back a hero with a gold medal. Was invited to the White House for dinner with the President.
A few days later he went into a diner in his hometown Louisville Ky & asked for a cheeseburger. He was refused service told to go to back door & get it as take away.
In a week he had dinner with the president but was then denied service in a diner purely because of the colour of his skin. As he said What good is that gold medal when I'm not considered good enough to eat a meal with you. No wonder he threw it in the river was it??
To me Ali was a brave man & in no way cowardly. He'll always be The Greatest to me

C.J. Rock,

I have never called Cassius Clay 'a coward' or a 'draft dodger'. Never.

Now, I suggest you search to see where I posted those words.

You will be looking for a long time to find those words.

Cute picture, Bill. But it took me about 30 seconds.

Cassius was 'banned' from every State Boxing Commission in the United States
at the time, except for Utah.

The money was there for Cassius $300,000.

But the 'greedy coward' wanted more.

Bob Foster >

"I can't understand it. Look at the money there 'giving' him. And he's playing
games asking for another $50,000 - which would cut into my purse."

I don't believe it Primo.

Cassius was a 'true' coward.

You know it, I know it, and the 'World' knows it.




I'm sure there's more, but point made.

I never said that. I was quoting Bob Foster.

It was 'Sheriff' Bob Foster who said that.

Your second post was not a quote, Bill.
Just plead guilty and throw yourself on the mercy of the court.

[Bill Paxtom]

It was me.

I called Cassius 'a greedy coward'. And, a true coward.

He was also a Draft Dodger. He told me himself, that he didn't want to go.
And that he wanted to 'worm' his way out of serving Uncle Sam.

[brocktonblockbust]

It was bad enough that he was a draft dodger but then he started to call Joe Louis an Uncle Tom for having fought so gallantly and valiantly for the United States in world war 2

[frasd]

Just started reading this thread from the last page up and it doesn't sound like an Ali appreciation thread at all.

[Master]

Bill are you Bob Foster?

[Primo Carnera]

bill are you bob foster?

busted!!!

Joe Louis never saw any action in WWII Joe was just used for propaganda . He spent most time visiting troops doing exhibition fights for morale purposes

The image I have of Bill is someone who looks kinda like Pee Wee Hermann & wears a long trenchcoat LOL

I imagine him as looking like Bill Paxton, because the names are so similar. Hell, he might be able to look like anyone you can think of, if he is Bill Paxton. Do not imagine him as a zombie, you might turn around find one standing behind you in line. What would you do if he leaned forward and whispered, "Hi, C.J., it's Bill come to visit."

[brocktonblockbust]

If Bill really was Bob Foster you guys have a lot of apologies to make
