Ali was a rotten sportsman who make the ex-con Sonny Liston appear as a refined gentleman by comparsion.

Anyone who alines themselves with Muhammed has lost their soul.

Ali helped launch the career of Don King.Anyone who would do this to America just has to be an evil person.

I repeat: this is not someone suitable to be honored by the president of the United States. Agreed. The Presidential Medal of Freedom has undergone very serious devaluation over the last decade.....

"Ali was a rotten sportsman who make the ex-con Sonny Liston appear as a refined gentleman by comparsion."
I was just a kid at the time (about 13-14), but I remember feeling sympathy for Liston, despite his reputation, when Clay/Ali taunted him.

...cept Don King was very vocal in his support for GWB during the campaign.
Was that an embarrassing good thing ?

As has the Nobel Peace Prize. It has become a complete joke.

Seriously? Is that the Crips founder who's on death row?

Liberals have to always rewrite history to favor their heros.
This book would be a good refresher on the real life and attitudes of Howard Cossell's best pal.

I first heard of Ali during the run-up to the first Ali-Frazier fight in 1971 when I was 7 years old. Didn't know anything about the Nation of Islam at the time, but after watching a few interviews I was instinctively repulsed by the guy -- a loud, obnoxious, and anti-American. I wanted Frazier, who seemed like the opposite of Ali in nearly every way, to beat the hell out of him.
Turned out to be one of the greatest fights in boxing history, of course. .....and what a beautiful left hook it was that sent Ali to the canvas ;)
