Boring.
He was a pretty good fighter, but they’ve played this song too much. I’m tired of it.

Joyce Carol Oates . . . Ohhhh, I remember her. The old white woman with the ridiculous glasses, right?
. . . who knew absolutely nothing about boxing.

What I have learned from Liberals: When you judge a man, judge him by the color of the skin he was born with; nothing else really matters.

Maybe a white man had to go to Vietnam in his place? I wonder if that same man came home?
To: No One Special
I am white and I always liked him. Why racially agitate now? Never pass up an opportunity, I guess.

And we’ve still got the funeral to go through.
I remember how long the mourning for JFK stretched out.
It went on for weeks until even those of us in the military were sick of it.
Cassius Clay ain’t no JFK, and how I wish he’d go away.

He would not be the white mans Negro" Which is how Ali outrageously and unfairly tarred both Joe Frazier and, to a lesser extent, George Foreman. Ali's behavior to Frazier was disgraceful, calling him an Uncle Tom and then reversing course and saying he was an "ugly gorilla" type of black man. And all just for publicity. Its even worse because Frazier tried to help Ali when he was suspended. Ali was a great boxer. But he did some horrible things to his fellow black boxers.

She's a frizzy haired liberal so she thinks she's allowed to drop N-bombs in her headlines.
To: No One Special
He could have been a great leader of all men but he really turned out to be a whimpy yellow-bellied coward. I was there when he dodged the draft while the rest of us went with the troops and took the bullet, no matter what. All of us here treated him with disdain from that time inward.

I don't know what type of life he lead, I do know that he was a great fighter...and for that reason I admired him...I remember my husband and I listened to his first fight on the radio...we had a bet, I bet he would win because I liked his saying: “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” and my husband said he was a braggarts idiot, I won the bet, a steak dinner at my favorite Steak house...
RIP Ali....
