Muhammad Ali is in "grave condition" in a Phoenix-area hospital, a well-informed source tells NBC News, as the boxing legend continues to battle a respiratory condition.

The 74-year-old former heavyweight champion's family has gathered by his bedside just a day after he had been hospitalized in what spokesman Bob Gunnell said Thursday was to be a "brief" stay.

Joe Frazier never KO’d Ali.

Please be respectful.

Okay...I'll try.

But I find it extremely hard to have any respect for a member of the despicable Nation of Islam, a Mohammedan or what ever the hell Ali claims to be part of, nor can I abide a draft dodging piece of crap that put his career before service to his country, religion of peace be damned.

I'll leave it at that, as my sainted G-mother always cautioned me...that if I had nothing good to say about someone, then say nothing.

So...nothing.

You’re right. Well my friend went with Foreman. I got the two mixed up.

So what the Communist Vietnamese did to blacks is the standard, and not the absolute hortors they perpetrated on the Vietnamese people and American prisoners of all races. You’ve just advocated a totally vile and unpatriotic standatd: what matters to blacks and nobody else.

The irony is he was named after a great abolitionist, Cassius Marcellus Clay ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassius_Marcellus_Clay_(politician) ) and changed it honor a Turkish ruler who owned thousands of African slaves (who were routinely castrated to prevent them from breeding).

No, he did not.

He never served a day.

Ali did more for liberty than almost anyone of that generation.

He did more to end the most diabolical institution of the progressive movement (the draft) than anyone. And he didn't P...ssy out like so many that we can name. He refused to go and paid a heavy price. Like the champ that he is. We owe him a debt of gratitude just for that.

The Foreman fight was one of the greatest thrills of my life.

Any yahoo who calls him “Clay” has no business on FR.

You have to understand Ali’s mindset at the time in the turbulent 60s. If he would have joined the draft he would have been derided as an Uncle Tom. I neither support nor denounce what he did.

Ken ‘The Fighting Marine’ Norton was a great boxer and honorable man as well.

Looked it up and you are correct, Frazier knocked Ali down in the 15th and won by decision, not KO.

Can't remember past yesterday, let alone 40+ years back.
