I cried when Frazier beat him in their first fight. I was in the 9th grade. Had to listen on the radio and they would report what happened after each round was over.

My first bet ever with a bookie was Hearns/Leonard I.

$30 to win $25. Saw that at Cole Field House in College Park, Maryland.

What a finish by Sugar Ray. :00hour

My very first bet was getting a piece of my father's bet when he bet Ali as a 7-1 dog vs. Liston....& I remember how everybody thought Ali was looney with the way he carried on....& if I remember correctly there was talk of canceling the bout because Ali's blood pressure was through the roof....

"the bunker"

some quotes:

"We who follow the teachings of Elijah Muhammad (leader of the Nation of Islam) don't want to be forced to integrate. Integration is wrong. We don't want to live with the white man"

"All Jews and gentiles are devils? Blacks are no devils? Everything black people doing wrong comes from [the white people]: Drinking, smoking, prostitution, homosexuality, stealing, gambling: It all comes from [the white people]"

In an interview with Playboy Ali said "A black man should be killed if he's messing with a white woman." When the interviewer asked about black women crossing the colour barrier, Ali responded: "Then she dies. Kill her, too."
The Playboy journalist, who interviewed the boxer, was closer to the mark when he observed of his subject: "You're beginning to sound like a carbon copy of a white racist."


not to mention the disgusting names he called frazier and other opponents...

that`s some role model right there....

Ali, while a great pugilist was hardly a great man.

Ali is a good man. Plain and simple.
All of you are incorrect and have bad information.

i think the humanitarian meme came as a result of his opposition to viet nam...the media hated the war and embraced/propped up ali as some sort of icon for peace because he refused to serve(more because he hated whites and saw it as a white vs brown man issue).....

martin luther king:

."When Cassius Clay joined the Black Muslims he became a champion of racial segregation and that is what we are fighting against."....

but hey,we can agree to disagree amicably...people are gonna believe what they want to believe...
