[wXh]

haha rofl !!

[Steak]

yea..look at joshua clottey and look at say..andre ward or andre dirrell

exactly, good example.

he definatley had the gift of the gab thats for sure. he had an irish tongue, normally that would be enough for us to claim him as our own, and he probably could play football for ireland, but where was the drinking problem? A real irishman would have drank himself ****** once he got rich and famous.
ppfftt, staying sober, typical yank.................

Saw a bit of it on the news earlier today, he got a great reception. Got treated like the legend he is.

Hope he enjoys his stay here, its a privaledge to have him.

In ireland they might say that he "had the gift of the gab" and he certainly had that!! Ali really is a hero whereever he goes

[D-MiZe]

He also has English ancestry.

Interesting story, irish guy goes to the states and marries a former slave girl and down the line out pops the greatest boxer of all time. I heard a funny good natured comment where someone says thats funny i didnt realise ali had a drink problem. But now im sure the irish will tell us that ali is the greatest irish boxer of all time, here we go!!

Are African American boxers, who usually have white in them, better than African boxers, who usually do not?

Are Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson better than Sam Peter and Friday Ahunyana?
