yeah, and i’m not seeing anyone here calling Trump a draft dodger. He hid behind deferments. Ali at least had the guts to state his beliefs and deal with the consequences. And the consequences were severe.

Which one is the coward again?

And Ali wasn’t rich in the mid 60’s. Hardly. in fact, Joe Frazier had to lend him money.

Ali was a racist Nation of Islam member and promoter. A scum and a traitor. A skilled boxer. If you are defending him because he is dead, you are a hypocrite.
