Clay won his first title when Sonny Liston threw a fight, and then threw the rematch. Liston was in deep to the mob, who didn't want Sonny as champ. Clay was a good clown for the white people, until he avoided the draft and became a ******. Then things changed, but how that he's sick, people love him again, of course.
