People complaining about Ali's anti war stance, why dont they go and sign up to the army? He is right, why kill people that did nothing to him?
Anyway, Ali said it right... if it was meant to happen, it will happen. What a champ and hero.

Practically anyone who was famous or had money weaseled out of the draft. Ali just used the racist sect of Islam he joined as a copout and hippies thought it was "counter-culture" enough to consider cool.
He wasn't a good person and seemed rather dense. He was just good at boxing. No matter how much you like boxing we all know deep down society is in a better place without people like him present.
The bottom line is, Vietnam was a bull**** war. It is universally accepted as that, even by a lot of conservatives at this point. You're General Custer at this point, fighting a losing battle.

Vietnam was a critical theater against the expansion of Soviet/Chinese control. Like with all modern wars, the geopolitical situation wasn't simple enough for the media to translate to average ******s -- so they dumbed down the reasoning for the public, said we're going in to give them freedom and hamburgers.

Regardless of his wins the horrific punishment took from Joe, George & especially the 3rd Norton bout + Larry sure didn't help, evn that 1st bout vs Leon......the Dr's comment seemed 2 b based on no personal medical knowledge...

Originally posted by Sun_Tzu View PostHa, look its one of them guys. Ali absorbs massive amounts of punishment to the head later on in his career and sadly as it turns out he could take it with out getting KOed. He was plainly slurring his speech at the end but yea that had nothing to do with the condition he had, you know the one with his brain. Its plainly obvious to anyone that can think for themselves and doesnt rely on someone else to do it for them that repeated blows to the head by 200lb + world class athletes might cause some problems down the line. Is it the only factor? I dont know. Maybe he would have come down with it anyway but to believe it didnt have anything to do with it is naive and to be honest is a slow mans way of thinking.
Here is an idea, go listen to Evander Holyfield, Thomas Hearns, James Toney or better yet Terry Norris. They all have a little bit or a lot of what Ali had going on and its just going to get worse for them.
