    Yes Walrus... Bill was a Vietnam vet. He went to all the shows, and snapped all those pictures himself. He had made a special place in his little scrapbook for the Ali photos he was going to put there when The Greatest showed up and did a little shadowboxing for the troops. Unfortunately, Ali refused to be drafted, and Billy's scrapbook pages reserved for Ali went empty. Billy's heart was broken... but the sadness soon turned to anger. Once Billy returned to the States, he went to all of Ali's fights... but only to BOO and call Ali by his slave name. Before being hauled off by Ali's bodyguards, Billy swore to Ali that if there was ever something invented called the Internet, and if in that Internet there was ever something called a Boxing Forum..... that Billy would join and forever maintain a hate crusade the likes of which the world had never seen.

    The rest, as they say..... is history.

    there. A bunch of lawyers and money men. They were all 'WHITE''. "

    When I came home from 'entertaining' the troops in Vietnam 1972. That is when Cassius Jr. gave
    me grief.

    My Television Special was in 1976. Just before my Television Special was about to start,
    Cassius came by the studio with Flowers and Candy. He got down on his knee's and begged
    forgiveness.

    He 'begged' to be on my Television Special.

    He said he was wrong about all the 'foul' things he said. He started to cry like a little boy. I felt
    pity for him. Because he was really not that bright.

    I told him that he could on my Television Show, if he behaved like a human being.

    He bowed to my commands.

    Stop making this stuff up you are embarrassing yourself.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It's not entirely his fault.
    Rather I think it's his imaginary friends that come by and visit him at his room at the Psych Ward.
    They're the ones who come up with these stories.

    Ali took his stand for better or worse. He stood out for better or worse. I have never thought of him as being "the greatest of all time" that's how he thinks of himself. He was a great boxer and I never doubted that but the greatest? Nope.

    Joe Louis is the greatest of all time, he has the stats to back it up.


    As for the celebrities who did USO tours, God bless them, that was the absolute least they deserved. Vietnam was a shit war illegally started by Democrats...and conveniently blamed on Nixon.

    Vietnam started America's communist revolution....commies infiltrated media, education, and government.

    So much so that some "Americans" wanted us to lose the war....you saw it again in Iraq and Afghanistan...these fucking surrender monkeys have no clue how good they have it....and due to young men willing to sacrifice everything for the American way of life.

    Troops shouldn't be sent to slaughter for no reason and they shouldn't be welcomed back with disdain and contempt either.
