Comments Thread For: Muhammad Ali's Hometown Renames Airport in His Honor

[Marchegiano]

It’s crazy how a boxer became a top 10 most known person ever walking on this earth. He was real WORLD champion.

It's an honor reserved for only the very very few.

I know of one man in all of boxing history whose fame was comparable but in actuality he doesn't even come close to Ali.

Demokrates was champion in the first century around the time Jesus would be about 25. Demo was from the Roman Empire and was a Roman Pyx champion. An Olympian not a gladiator, Olympians were like pros today while Gladiators were much less so. Demo was famous from Africa to Japan by way of the Silk Road.

The entire ancient world knew his name and his feats. He was even more famous than the emperors of the major ancient empires, Rome, China, Persia, and Aksume!

Everyone knew Demo in the first century similar to how everyone knows Ali now, but, the first century ancient world is really tiny compared to Ali's.

So in that regard Ali is without a doubt alone in terms of fame.

What stops the US government to put Muhammad Ali's face on its Dollar

I'm more critical of Ali's legacy than most, but I'm definitely flying thru Louisville for a layover at Muhammad Ali International Airport at my earliest convenience cuz I love it when boxers cross into the mainstream world like this & it isn't getting much more mainstream then getting a airport named after you.

Why are you critical and in what sense Pandas?

Lol go look up the conversation I've been having with Tom Cruise in some Mayweather titled thread for specifics. I'd rather not rehash it all here in a Ali, the man, positive thread + its all pretty long winded & needs more context than a sentence or two would give it here.

I finally had the displeasure of reading that drivel. You got schooled 120 - 108 by Tom, he shut you out like Mayweather did Canelo.

You literally just cried and cried and cried over nothing. Oh Ali runs doe! Oh he a cheat code doe! Oh what does Ali do doe!

The worst was when you said Ali is like Khan except with a chin. Genuinely the most dumbest comment I've ever read on this website.

You appear triggered by Ali. Let me guess, it's because he's black right? Handsome? Better than Louis (whom you claimed would have beaten Ali LMFAO Louis would have been eaten alive)? Refused to do the Government's dirty work in Vietnam? Oh he's ******, that's why you hate him right?

Every argument you put forth was shut down systematically by Tom. He literally bent you over raw with no Vaseline.

What a fucking idiot. You honestly don't know sweet fuck all about boxing. On the ignore list you go dickhead.

Lol if thats what your logic is from simply saying Ali is overrated & isn't clearly the #1 boxer ever you sound more triggered than you claim I am.

Best for us to both ignore list each other in that case if two guys reasonably disagreeing like Tom Cruise & I did can set you off.

Would have been interesting if the airport was named Cassius Clay Airport LOL.
