    I give Brian London credit though,

    He didn't quit after the Cassius Clay bout in August 1966.

    He fought on, and did do suprisingly well in 1967

    March 9, 1967--------(L Dec 10) to Jerry Quarry
    August 15, 1967------(W Dec 10) over James J. Woody
    November 13, 1967---(W Dec 10) over Zora Folley

    The loss to Jerry Quarry cannot be considered a bad performance, as
    Brian did go 10-Rounds with a 'hard-punching' young west-coast rocket.

    Very respectable for a 33 year-old British Heavyweight.

    So you give Quarry credit as a "hard punching young west coast rocket" for being taken 10 rounds by the mediocre London,but pour scorn on Ali who took him out in spectacular style inside 3 rounds.

    Senor, I'm starting to see your major disrespect for Ali (excuse me, Cassius Clay :yep) Do you like John Wayne Senor? Well, lets start calling him Marion Morrison from this point on because that was the name the Duke was born with!
    Hey, I'm still looking forward to that exciting 0-7-1 run commentary you're going to give us on Spencer after Quarry iced him.

    March 1967

    The Associated Press, (the politically correct bunch) called him
    Cassius Clay in March 1967.

    He was Cassius Clay.

    He was an entertainer who made his living off of the public.

    He was whatever anybody wanted to call him. That comes with the territory.

    He was there to please the fans, not the other way around.

    The same goes for any entertainer.
