He was of my generation and saw plenty of his fights.
Rest In Peace.
He and Frazier were among best.

Regardless of everything else, he was one of the best ever at what he did, and a unique individual.

Muhammad was not in the peaceful wing of Islam, he supported the murder of Malcolm X, and he was a black separatist. He once addressed a KKK rally and told them they both believe in the same thing - separation of the races.

Remembered a novelty song from the 70's called "The Black Superman" about Ali. Don't know who did it, but here it is...

Unless he accepted Jesus as savior, his troubles have just begun.

I met Ali at the Ring Side Club in LA. He even gave me his autograph. It was a few week prior to Christmas, and I wished him a Merry Christmas. His entourage really looked surprised and recoiled a bit. I was a young stupid kid and I had no idea about the Muslim thing back then.

I laugh every time I think about it.

RIP.

Here's where he got that "I am the greatest!" and "I am the prettiest!" schtick (and made a lot of money from it).

The worst was when he said Chuck Wepner called him the N-word (which, of course, Wepner didn’t). Race baiting at its’ worst.

“You or I don’t know what was in his heart or whether he asked for forgiveness near the end.

Let the dead rest in peace and pray for their souls.”

This is correct.

Yes, it is. The man had his faith. Please leave it at that.

For those old enough to recall:

I came to believe the entire draft dodging charge was bogus.

He was 25 in 1967 and they weren’t drafting 25 year olds.
This was a complete political hack job.

Imagine if he’d been able to box in those four years, while still at his peak.

That’s a grave injustice.
