Muhammad Ali Appreciation thread.

Bill, I am sure you would have loved Ali to have taken the bullet aimed for Malcolm but it did not happen thankfully and we got the good years of boxing from Ali

Cassius 'X' Clay,

He nearly pulled the trigger anyway. He knew Malcolm 'X' was a marked man.

He might as well had put an 'X' on Malcolm's chest.

Just who thrived after Malcolm 'X' was put down ...............

February 1966

Cassius Clay getting the feel of Army issue Combat Boots.

Cassius was going to be a good soldier.

Great man indeed. Facing Ali is probably the best testament. Take the good with the bad. He had a horrible mouth, demeaned fighters in the most shallow of ways.

But no one complained about the paydays they got fighting Ali.

Ken Norton "Me and my son were eating hotdogs regular until the Ali fight. After Ali we ate steak regularly."


My favorite comes from Ron Lyle- when asked if he thought the fight was stopped prematurely he stated if it weren't for Ali, would you be talking to me now? 'bout what?

BTW- that straight right hand Ali landed on Lyle that sent him reeling- was heavy handed- followed by a hellatious flurry. He knew how to end a fight when a fighter got hurt.

If it was anybody else that we were fighting, they would have never stopped it.

You really are to much. I invite you to FAST FORWARD to say 3:30 and then witness what unfolds. That is the trouble with you clinical obsessive type regardless of cause. You repeat the same bullshit so many times that you actually genuinely believe it. Its called "sincere delusion"

"I have Ron Lyle ahead. No doubt. Ali came back and did some damage in the middle rounds > 6, 7 and 8. But yes, I have Lyle ahead Howard."

Alan King .......... A Good and Honest Man.

At the rate Ali was fighting if he had not gone gotten suspended from boxing he would easily have fought to six or seven more times from 1967 until 1970 period six or seven more good fight would have put more wear and tear on him. This means that by the time George Foreman was ready to fight for the title Ali would not have been able to withstand that kind of a brute force.

You would be amazed by the endurance and courage Ali had.
