    Nothing because he has passed on and yet you are still disrespecting him. You have no class. The fact you make a conscious decision to refer to him that way from the safety of your home makes me doubt you'd have the stones to text him let alone speak to him.

    I don't believe you. Only a coward would intentionally disrespect the dead. Unless Ali did something to you personally that is uncalled for. Either way, you are seeking attention and putting the spotlight on yourself when you do this which is a feminine trait, and thus not worth my time.

    You seem to have an irrational hatred of Ali

    He's passed away now ... Perhaps let it go?

    Not at all. I was merely responding to a question posed by another member.
    You conveniently left that part out of your little screen shot thereby making you FAKE NEWS.

    Good day to you

    No he wasnt ,George Kimball,George Plimpton,did more, Howard Cohen never publicly took a stance on Ali's draft or the Viet Nam war, neither did he do so in his memoirs .In his later years Cohen was often blind drunk whilst working.He made his name off of MUHAMMAD ALI, but did nothing concrete for him in return.

    Ali was not allowed to box for nearly 4 years ,had his boxing licence withdrawn and his passport cancelled.That is being exiled from boxing and disallowed from practising his means of livelihood.

    Bro, your ban was just recently lifted & already you're back at it again? You're just itching to be banned again. This time though, you won't be able to come back.

    I’m a huge Ali fan...but when he was young he was racist lol. He would later change his views on things like segregation.

    He was African American, and Muslim, two of the most oppressed groups there are and had a white man whom he loved dearly as his manager....
