Clay was no idol nor was Clay Ali that respected in USA

Clay refused to fight for America and joined the ******s who hated the USA. Clay was no hero and Clay was no idol to be worshiped and respected. Granted Clay/Ali was a great boxer and colorful but any man who won't fight for his country is not much of a man. The legends are those who died fighting for America and defending it. The wounded warriors from all of our wars are the heroes. Clay was just a guy filled with hate for America. Much better men died for America and still are defending the USA. Those are the heroes and deserve our respect. Clay gets my pity. I hated Clay Ali and what Clay represented. God Bless America just pity Clay/Ali. FACT

I remember like it was yesterday run'n to the store at 630 am to buy a newspaper to find out the result of Ali/Frazier 1.

I was 8 then and was heartbroken with the result.

To many of us grow'n up Ali was more than boxing he was everything.

This 52 yr old kid is gonna miss you 4ever Champ !

RIP And Legends Live 4Ever !!!

You're talking about Maidana fans tho. The same fanbase that said he got shut out 10-0 vs Alexander because he had a stomach ache. And I'm not making this up.

Bad oysters?

He stood up for what he believed in, he sacrificed everything he had worked towards and earnt to prove a point. He was expected to fight for a country that didnt accept his ethnicity as being equal to theirs. Would you fight for a country that didnt accept you the same as every other citizen that fits that countries stereotype???

You're a black man in the early 1960's. You win a gold medal for your country and you aren't even allowed in the restaurants to eat because of the color of your skin. You grow up in a nation divided, in the heart of the civil rights movement. You'd want to join the nation of Islam too.

Clay made good money in America but any man who will not defend his country is not much a man. Pity Clay Ali for suffering so long and being felt sorry for. that's it. No hero just a zero.

Many blacks have fought and died and were injured defending America. Those were the heroes. Clay ali was a zero not to be respected just pitied for suffering for 35 yrs and being more a vegetable. American heroes fight for America. FACT
