He wouldn't have had to fight in the war. He most certainly would have been giving boxing exhibitions for the troops like so many patriotic boxers did in the War.Countless Americans died in the Vietnam war. He refused to do his part and join his brothers when they needed him the most. He would have greatly boosted their morale and perhaps even turned the tide in the war for a victory if he had joined.
But instead he spoke out against the war and refused to fight in it.
So while his brothers were getting slaughtered, he was in his mansion living the good life and impregnating women all day.
How anyone can respect this guy is bizarre.
Barney Ross and many other fighters actually went to war to fight for the homeland. Some may remember the movie "Monkey on my Back" which told his story of his war activities , wounds, and drug addiction, because of them. He was a hero.Comment

For almost the first time, I agree with you, although not about Tyson. THAT was an obvious scam.
Further to what I wrote ,answering Pugilist Tom, both Sugar Ray Robinson and Joe Louis "went to war" to serve their country. They served by giving exhibitions, which were much appreciated. Barney Ross went as a fighting soldier. But he was retired by then, no longer a champion. Yet he also could have given exhibitions.....Comment

America got it's ass kicked in Vietnam and rightfully so because they had no business there (much like most of the places they have presence).Countless Americans died in the Vietnam war. He refused to do his part and join his brothers when they needed him the most. He would have greatly boosted their morale and perhaps even turned the tide in the war for a victory if he had joined.

They were on the wrong side of history and you're just wrong and ignorant.Comment

Some of the clowns in here disrespecting Ali man. You guys are pathetic, and completely uneducated.
What Ali did was one of the bravest and most honourable things any sportsman has done.Comment
