Always remember Ali for his fight with Foreman. Foreman literally destroyed the two fighters that had done serious physical damage to Ali, like they were run of the mill club fighters, but Ali used his wits and beat Foreman, and made it look pretty easy.

RIP, great warrior.
His death was a real surprise to me. He had his share of flaws but there were things I respected about him like this one statement he gave that if a white athlete stated, he would have been defamed.

Great man overall.

I really appreciate what he's saying in that clip, mostly because there has never been any bona fide integration in this world. There wasn't then, and there isn't know -- which says quite a lot about those who have promoted it, I think.

Sorry, what were we talking about again?

Humans love the sting of fighting.

Crosmando: Humans also used to live in caves. I think we're beyond that.
Conflict is how we grow as human beings and is the fuel for just about every form of entertainment we have. Without conflict, Frodo sits in the shire and learns nothing about the world. Don’t look now, but you’re having some wholesome nourishing conflict in this very thread. What goes on in a boxing ring is a distilled and straightforward form of conflict, two people testing their physical limits to prove they’re the best.

doctorsinister: Yes he was a great man in the boxing world but saying that he "sacrificed everything for his love and faith in humanity" is simply not true.

The guy was a voracious skirt chaser and very promiscuous.
He has been married and divorced 4 times. The wives simply could not handle his abusive ways.

He pretended to be good Muslim but was sleeping around with many women and had quite a few bastard kids who he ignored when they asked for his financial support and help.

He was also a member of Nation of Islam which is a very anti-Semitic organization and does not believe in women's rights.

He wasn't exactly morally righteous man as the mainstream media portrays him to be.

I don't think you read the entirety of my post.

You cannot be a promiscuous person who sleeps with many women and then pretend to be good devout religious man.
He claimed to be a Muslim and yet did things that were completely against their religion.

And where the hell did the Jesus reference come from. Who is blackmailing Muhammad Ali here ?

Geez your post is idiotic.


OH AND MUHAMMAD ALI WAS A RACIST.

I've tried to appeal to your logic. Instead of arguing you start giving me names. Good job.
We white people deported africans, destroyed families, raped their women, exploited their hard work on the fields, when they dared to whistle at white women we took out their eyes and hanged them (see the Emmett Louis Till case).
<irony>I also can't understand, how they could have seen us white people as their enemies in the 60ies and 70ies. How could they have dared to fight a racist system?!</irony>

Next time maybe it would be smarter at least not to post a link from an obviously racist/ islamophobic youtuber.
The references are a) out of context (e.g. see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeFMyrWlZ68) and b) since he was young when he made that Statements, I do not think it is fair to judge his whole life by a few sentences.
I think most People around here are to intelligent to fall for your J. Edgar Hover Cointelpro tactics aiming for defamation of Muhammad Ali.

My ironic friend with the B-52. I don't think it makes sense to start arguing with you, since you see the B-52 as an instrument of peace,

While Muhammad Ali was undoubtedly an incredible boxer, to those who think that was the end all be all of his achievements, here is something you can watch:

I have to admit, I got a bit of a knot in my throat at his 96 Olympics appearance, but that could just be personal feelings (my grandmother also had a long fight with Parkinsons).

It deals with idea that if you annihilate your enemies, peace will follow the conflict although I believe peace is a myth and unnatural. There is only war and the resting periods between war.

Plus, having superior firepower can intimidate potential enemies into backing down. You are right that arguing with me would pointless. I would win.
