Or he is just being unbiased.
Whether or not he likes the fight doesnt change the fact that Pac is the biggest public figure (in regards to his country) since Ali.Comment

He didn't have an issue with the VC, I don't really question if he believed in his stance.
Even if he went to the army he would have only seen bullets on the firing range.
He would get the Joe Louis treatment.
Still he was majorly known outside of sport for not only that stance but other political reasons.
But they still went.
He was no Pat Tillman thats for sure.
Pat Tillman died for his stance, Ali just served time for his.Comment

They are very different situations, post 9/11 versus late 60's Vietnam, they obviously had very different values but those are not like situations. Who is to say who is wrong, there was a good argument for not being in Vietnam since that was a civil war, while 9/11 we got attacked and as top dog you can't just let that sit.Last edited by The Gambler1981; 02-15-2011, 07:45 PM.Comment

Lots of guys are not Muhammed Ali, Ali would have never seen combat, so it wasn't fear that kept him away. Ali used his status to stand up for what he believed very few people attain that sort of status to make that even an option.

Ali punked out of the war plain and simple.
Pat Tillman walked into deaths grasp and faced it head on.
Yea, I'd say the two situations are very different. One was actually a man about it, the other, played the victim.
The man, died for his stand.Comment

i dont think he's a hypocrite, he always respected Pac but didnt like this fight. Neither do I.
Maybe he got fed up *******s sending angry mail so he decided to get back in the good graces, lol who the hell knows or cares
Iole is **** anywayComment

Where did he mention that he wasn't going to boycot the fight now?
The article is actually only LOOSELY based on boxing, to be honest. He's talking about how big of an icon Manny Pacquaio is to some people. Has nothing to do with Shane Mosley or any future fights in a direct fashion. The article is actually talking about WHY he thinks the fight will do good, technically.
He's talking about why, no matter who he faces, it's an event. Therein lays the comparison to Muhammad Ali.
Ridiculous.Comment

You can't say which is right which is wrong they both believed in their stances.
To me people who stand for what they believe in are what make this country great and beautiful, no matter what that belief is.Comment
