    Ali's principled stand? :rofl



    You do know the Nation fed Ali everything he said? Sorry Ali was incredibly witty, and emotionally intelligent. But in terms of real smarts he was dumb as a post.


    Malcolm X took a principled stand, and he died for it.

    There's a lot of other things that can sell a fight or brand effectively. Ray Leonard and DLH proved that. You hear about that stuff DLH did but unlike Floyd.... DLH didn't make himself a Target. Lol... Floyd does at his own expense. The truth always comes out....how long it takes a lot of the time is on the individual. Oscar isn't perfect and neither is Floyd but Floyd is less intelligent when it comes to commonsense and business.

    Malcolm changed his racist stance once he took his trip to mecca and saw every colour under the sun praying together, this started getting him to use his own brain and think differently.

    Did Ali ever apologise for being racist?

    Not that I know of. Dont know if he ever recanted his views or ahem the Nations views.

    Thats how you know what an intelligent man Malcolm X was in comparison. Muhammad Ali grew up in a working class neighborhood, trained by a white man, and support of many white people, meanwhile Malcolm X grew up amongst the worst conditions imaginable where his father was actually killed by the KKK and he was man enough to admit that what was done to him by whites doesnt represent all white people.

    X was a man of conviction. Not saying Ali wasnt kind hearted, but he wasnt his own man.

    The problem is that you actaully believe what your saying. Murder is murder. It doesnt matter if you shoot the friend friend of the guy that you were trying to shoot. Its still the same thing.

    Point is oscar was still a shitty person but you can find an excuse for him, which is what im saying. If your liked then its ok to be a **** up. I dont see it that way.

    i like him as a fighter... anything outside of that, i don't put too much weight on because that's his own personal life... not saying everything he does is acceptable or good but i don't judge him on that.... "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" :yep:good

    He is not a great person outside the ring is but he is undefeated.

    If he loses a fight, then he becomes irrelevant because people will not be able to use his "skills" to defend his personality.
