KremaP: This is what Oriana Fallaci says about her experience with Ali:
"I had seen him a couple of times, and I went back to his house in Miami to finish the interview. He was eating a melon. I said, Good Morning, Mr. Clay. He keeps on eating the melon and suddenly belches very loud. I think he is just being impolite and I sit down with my tape recorder. And then oooaaagh. He belches again. A big one. Well, I said, let’s go on anyway. And just at that moment, buurp, buurp, whoops, whoops. I turned to him and shouted, I am not going to stay with an animal like you. And I was undoing my recorder, when he took the microphone and threw it against the wall. My microphone! I saw it flying past my head and I took my fists and bam, bam. Went against him. He stood there. So enormous. So tall. And he watched me in a way an elephant watches a mosquito. Black Muslims suddenly came out of all the doors into the room. Evil. Evil. They began to chant. You came for evil. It was like a nightmare. I backed out to my cab, trying to keep my dignity, but really afraid, and went straight to the airport. After the interview was published, Cassius Clay said he was going to break my nose if he ever saw me again. I said, we’ll see, if he breaks my nose, he is going to jail and we will have beautiful news in the papers. I saw him later in New York. I passed with my nose in the air, and he went by without looking at me.”


His agressive behaviour could be related to all the blows he suffered to his head.

Former boxers or American Football players don't end up well.

In my country there are two infamous boxers who brought nothing but embarrasment to the nation with their wild behaviour.

One killed his wife after an argument.

The other run over a pregnant woman with his SUV.

Both drunks and pathetics sub humans.

serene56: He was an ambassador, not only for people of colour, but also for those who fought against the odds, believed in themselves and strove to achieve the very best. And he did that


That is what made him "The people's champion"

RIP

Well, no Trumpleforskin supporters will mourn a Muslim, let alone a Black Muslim. If he had lived on, he may have been banned or thrown out of the US of Trump... Strange how he's avoided answering any question relating to his policy of banning Muslims in regards to Black Muslims...

Ali was bigger than boxing, bigger than the black Muslims, bigger than race hatred. The fact that he didnt act nice to a journalist in a certain extreme context hardly reflects on him .

Howard Cosell and Muhammad Ali were great friends. When I said I liked the electricity between them I meant that they were very funny and played off each other like the Rat Pack. I remember seeing on TV Howard Cosell was finishing interviewing Ali and then said "Join us next week when I interview Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger," then Ali said "What did you call me!" "I said Arnold Schwarzenegger" and they laughed. Ali always tryed to pull off Howards toupee.

I think it's fairly safe to say he paid his rent for his time here on Earth.

A sobering loss to humanity.

R.I.P. or maybe good riddance in George Rockwell's case. I remember when he was assassinated by a sniper on the rooftop of my friendly neighborhood 7/11, next door to the laundromat he was leaving. We had everything going on everywhere. Motorcycle gangs, race riots, Vietnam, protests, hippies, race riots, seconds from nuclear holocaust...
