Actor Will Smith and former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis will be among the eight pallbearers at Muhammad Ali’s memorial service Friday in Louisville, Ky.
The legendary boxer died June 3 following a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Other pallbearers at the service will include Jerry Ellis — brother of the late Jimmy Ellis, who was Ali’s former sparring partner and former world heavyweight champion — and several relatives and close friends.
Smith received an Oscar nomination for playing the title role in the 2001 movie “Ali.”

Who is providing the flowers?
Who are the ushers?
Who is driving the hearse?
Who dug the grave?
Who is going to be sitting in the fourth pew on the left?
They played this song too much. Everyone is tired of hearing it.
I thank you for your service my friend. I really mean it . You did a magnificent job. We won the war and then the Democrats cut off funding to the South, as you know. They did not want the victory you earned.
It’s a veritable who’s who of folks that hate white people!
Wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t set aside a day in June 2017 as a Federal holiday in honor of whatever his name is.
That is the absolute truth. When the North saw the funds cut off by the Cooper /Church amendment to the defense appropriations bill they invaded and pressed South. We had only 5000 American Service men left in all of the South. All of our POWS were returned home. Less that 1% of our victorious force strength were left at the end. President Thieu and President Ford begged for help to continue funding temperately needed to fight. Ford actually spoke to a joint session of Congress bagging the democrats not to execute over 1 million abandoned freedom loving people. ( which in fact happened) You won it and they erased it. Thanks again sir.
All of these Ali stories make me wonder: While is the heavyweight champ, today? Hmmmm.
The reason that nobody cares anymore about Boxing, is due to what happened to Ali, after he left Boxing.
Whether or not Boxing was responsible for his condition, that is the perception. Even Howard Cosell called for Boxing to be banned.
“Who are the dirtbags you’re talking about?”
The anti-freedom leftist hollywood actors. I saw a Drudge title today that said “Tarantino casting call for whores” and I thought “Isn’t it just ‘Tarantino casting call?’”
Smith’s son and daughter will be there and tell the world it was all about them. They’ll likely be wearing matching dresses.
What kind of underwear will The Champ be wearing?
The entire planet wants to know... everything.
What’s wrong with that kid. that’s a poster boy for the liberal/scientologist.
You’re right. And like all great fighters he hung around to long and at the end of his career was getting beaten by bums. He always said he wouldn’t hang on past his prime like Joe Louis but that’s exactly what he did. As far as all this social hero crap about him that’s nonsense. He was just a fighter with little education who was easily swayed and used as a pawn by the racist Nation of Islam. If not for them he would have remained a Christian and if not for them he would have did his time in the military when called. As far as fighting went he was a very fast heavyweight and that’s how he won most of his fights. He had a good jab and footwork. To me the best Heavyweight was Marciano simply because he fought the best of his era and never lost a fight. I thought Larry Holmes was as good as Ali, but never got the recognition because he followed Ali. There’s a reason Foreman was never given a rematch. He would have won it.
I appreciate your comments about Rocky. He was great. Clay was very god for the reason you stated. I disrespected him as FAUX muslim and a draft dodger. I am sorry about his Parkinson. Terrible disease. He was definitely part of our lives growing up.
