If Ali was at his prime today, he would be bigger than Tiger, Kobe, or Lebron

    What does that have to do with what I said? He would not be the most popular sports figure in the world period, that is reserved for football (soccer for you americans) stars.

      *******? The ****? Get over your hate, *****!

      Look, we live in a society where flossin what you got and talkin **** is celebrated. There has never been an athlete, hip hop artist or any other celebrity better than this than Ali.

        And all the stuff he spouted about Frazier being an Uncle Tom.

        A lot of things change in 40 years
        .
        im black and i agree.

        there is more unity in the nation and that **** wouldhave looked down upon today.

        blacks were fighting for their ownvoice back thenand ALi represented that in one aspect b.che said it like he felt it.

        but since then, we have a voice, and there are better ways to say things now.

        im a may fan but i didnt like when he called steward an uncle tom. and cant stand it whenBhop say dumb racist ****

          Ali was the greatest and I know many many many white people who knew him and adored him and the feeling was mutual. Not all ******s in fact a very small majority of ******s are *********s.

          Tiger Woods did many things recently looked upon as wrong and is still most watched and adored in Golf by a landslide.

              Tiger Woods didn't say that white men were evil or that blacks and whites shouldn't mix, all he did was cheat on his wife - big deal.

                i didnt know that people act today like other did in the 60's. flossing will never go anywhere and that has nothing to do with anything.

                fact is, the climate is totally different today than it was in our parents time. FACT.

                and i doubt ali would be anymore popular than tiger, mayweather, kobe etc.

                as said, im sure his star would be similar to mayweathers.

                  And I and the world could care less about it. Football is still the most popular sport in the world, so what TS said, that Ali would be the most popular figure in sports right now, is wrong.

                  Saying that he would be bigger than Tiger, Kobe and Lebron, like implying they are the biggest sport figures right now, shows he knows **** about global sports.

                    pac will not become ali like. Floyd is the biggest draw in the sport meaning that his name is bigger world wide too.

                    trips me out how floyd easily out sales pac but pac is a bigger star world wide. that **** makes no sense

                      dude people have the right to do and mix with whom ever they want. many people believe the same thing that Ali did or does but never had the b@lls to say it. Just because he thinks that black and whites should not procreate it doesnt mean that he hates white people. At the time he we growing up in his home it was very rough on black people. They hung them shot them burned crosses and did not allow them to go into or be in the same places as white people. All he was saying is keep your ****ing whites only **** to your selfs we black people are proud and we dont need it. You dont want us around you then we dont want you around us....i understand him fully. if I was being beat down and battered by a certain group of people I would stay the f away from them too and eventually fire back at them you know...he dont hate no one he spoke intelligently and openly about his mind a quality that is missing now a days in the world...Lefty
