Liston. Knocked down twice in 54 fights. One of those was likely a dive.
I'll have to add Joe Frazier. I remember him jumping Ali during a Cosell interview. They wrestled around on the floor. It may have been staged,...
Stepin Fetchit toured Britain a year or so before the fight. He may well have met Cooper and tutored him.

I think it's probably true. The NOI meet frequently with the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan protected NOI's mousques in the South as long as NOI...
Ali didn't object to Jim Crow. He tried to further Jim Crow. He was for it and spoke out for it even at a KKK rally.
As late as 1975, Ali advocated killing Blacks who "messed" with other races. I wonder how many of his fans read that interview and went out and...
