Every body knows Ali was a mean spirited prick, it's hard for me to see how anyone can deny it or forgive it.
Ali, a great American! What a joke, when he was away from boxing he was being lead around like a bull with with a nose ring, parroting whatever he was told, and too gullible to realize he was being used. I'm not saying he didn't believe many of the things he said, but he was a puppet, none the less.
In my opinion, of course!
