    I would attend in a heartbeat. I had the opportunity. one of my best friends is a guy named andy emilio. he's the east coast correspondent for elie seckbach's esnews. He called me the other night offering me a ticket but I cant get out of work. just got back from the dominican republic, but had I had the free time I would have flown to louisville in a heartbeat, a heartbeat.

    No. I blame Ali for ushering in the epidemic of trash talking in boxing that has existed ever since his reign.

    I wouldn't go out of my way to do it.

    Draft dodger, narcissist, low character and overrated.

    Draft dodger?

    Would you send your child to fight an unjust war?

    War is business.

    Vietnam war

    The white man wanted the black man to kill the yellow (Vietnamense) man to protect the land the white man stole from the Red man (Indians)

    Draft dodgers went to Canada. Ali stayed in the U.S. and contested his induction. Big difference. I wouldn't go to his funeral though. I find funerals extremely depressing and only go when I have to.

    No I wouldn't, I have no idea why anyone would want to attend a complete strangers funeral

    I wouldn't go. There are WAY more people closer to Ali that deserve to go ahead of me.

    He was completely, annoyingly full of himself. Even when he was getting the **** beaten out of him by Larry Holmes he was busy running his mouth. Total

    No.

    Great respect for him as a fighter, the greatest heavyweight of all time.

    But not a fan of his person.

    That's the sort of opinion you keep to yourself in light of current events.

    Normally a good wet after them though. It's the only reason I don't mind going.
