Rest In Peace Champ

[richard burch]

As a fighter I always rooted against him. Couldn't stand Pacheco kissing his ass during every broadcast. Sometimes I would turn the sound off. Cosell was bad but at least I got the joke

His early years were remarkable and with a style never seen in the Heavyweight division he took the world over. However like everything else, other fighters adapt and change, and father time always wins in the end.

His waning years were horrible. All his fights were going the distance and were downright boring. Also in 3 fights he was handed victories, Jimmy Young, Ken Norton and E. Shavers.

Frazier, Norton and Ali gone. Long live George Foreman, the last of the great ones.

R.I.P.

My Favs. are Dwight Braxton (Qwaui), Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler.

Most athletes who are successful are hounded by the leech racists known as the Nation of Islam...who arguably are far worse and more of a threat than the Ku Klux Klan but you won't have any regular liberal in this sub-forum agree.

They're all self-hating caucasian ostrich hybrids.

Ali would've been greater as Cassius Clay his whole boxing career. The NOI took years from his career and years of his money.

They are a scourge on humanity.

I agree about NOI, Ali became a follower of traditional Islam and left them behind, they will fade into history like all hate groups, Ali's memory will last forever...RIP Champ!
