    great stuff. ali was drafted for being a black muslim. that's the reason he was drafted by the white power. interesting he said he was the only champ going in to fights with no return clause contracts like liston and patterson and others.

    Joe Louis was seriously jealous of Ali.

    I don't believe that for one minute.

    I was drafted about the same time Ali was. Back then if you could walk and talk you were drafted.
