- -Ali went on his Canada/England/Germany tour when promoters couldn't secure insurance for his domestic fights because of the NOI angle.

Eventually he moved to live in Houston where he fought Cleveland Williams and Ernie Terrell in the then new 8th Wonder of the World, The Astrodome.

So it was the NOI that caused Ali to not be able to fight? It wasn't the backlash from his historic stance on Vietnam and refusing to be drafted? Why was he allowed to fight in '66 in Houston than? NOI was still with him. Was their some kind of magic insurance that was secured or did things just die down a bit before he went to court?

-NOI was a north eastern religious sect. Texas ain't in the NE and law enforcement had shoot to kill orders for any miscreants.

You said promoters couldn't secure insurance for a domestic fight. That includes the whole of the United States, why are you backtracking? Could the simple truth be as I've already posted and can confirm with many MANY links?

- -At the time he was overseas, that was the case as far as he knew. Need to pull U links out of U keister for a wiping, and no, the whole of the US is 50 separate state laws whereby Ali finds out if a Texas citizen he can stage fights there.

U even know the names of the 2 dozen 2nd grade teachers U had before graduating to 3rd grade?
