Ali was an evil loving Muslim. Glad Joe beat the snot out of him.

Ali became not only the first boxer to regain the heavyweight championship,

Incorrect and untrue. Floyd Patterson was the first.

Ali was a dirtbag. ESPN did a program on this white guy that fought Ali, can't remember his name and ALi tried to get him to call him nigger and when he wouldn't Ali insinuated he did in his press conference.

The opponent went on to be the basis for the Rocky movies

One of the stories I never read about is how Joe Frazier helped Ali. When Ali had lost his license to box Frazier provided him with money, moral support and his gym to work out in. As soon as Ali got his license back he taunted Frazier, called him “The white man's chump” and ridiculed him. Frazier had a hard time forgiving Ali for his lack of gratitude. One of frazier’s sons said “it may have been hype to Ali but when you are receiving death threats it is not fun”! I never did like Ali and I will always think his first fight against Liston was rigged by the mob!
