    Still, surprising Haye chose that name given everyone knows the "slave" name rubbish.

    there is a slight irony attached to him calling his son Cassius "in honour" of Ali however Ali made all sorts of quotes over the years. He once referred to all white men as being devils but you don't see that particular quote in many of his billboards!! i doubt he still believes it.

    i reckon he would also retract most of his comments about joe frazier if he got the chance and he also once claimed that any white blood he had could be attributed to **** but he didn't happen to mention that in 2009 when he was given the freedom of Ennis in Ireland the birthplace of his great grandather Abe Grady. Incidentally Abe Grady was not a ****** and settled in Kentucky in the 1860s and married a black girl.

    Ali said " any white blood in me is the result of **** by the White devils " Yet had no problem playing up to his Irish roots last year so that he could get a bag of cash

    That's pretty cynical. I'm fairly sure that years ago he admitted he was wrong about how he got his Irish roots.

    Ali really got brain washed and used as a puppet being fed lines to promote a religion at one point,he was totally used as a marketing tool.
