Well if you had the choice to do what you wanted,like here in Canada it would be a different story.

Draft dodger. Funny how he changed his religion to Islam and how he used that as his excuse to dodge the draft and how Islamists are so violent.
I respect his boxing ability, but he did not do anything for the nation other than entertain some people.
He found an avenue to avoid the draft, not unlike many of the rich kids going to college had a waiver loophole.
If it wasn't for the time in American history that he pulled his objective dispute, chances are he would have done a lot more then 3 years. Like others said talented boxer, not a hero. The true heroes are in the cemeteries.Doesn't/didn't make it right...a total embarrassment to "real" Americans!!!
Jumping through major hoops to dodge the draft is a major life changing choice. I would venture to say that if he hadn't already won gold in the Olympics, he would have served time in jail. Regardless, I wouldn't idolize such an un-American as he.
Apparently Mr. Ali had no idea how badly my freedom needed to be defended in the rice paddies of Southeast Asia. (eye roll).
Oh! Did someone say "Draft Dodger"?
No rip for him he turned on Jesus. I kinda don't blame him for not wanting to go to war after people treated blacks!Draft dodger. Funny how he changed his religion to Islam and how he used that as his excuse to dodge the draft and how Islamists are so violent.

I'll have to check Marciano's card. Unbeaten, but I'll bet that he didn't fight the likes of Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Ken Norton, Gerry Cooney, Ernie Shavers, Sonny Liston..
I don't know who he fought, but I just listed some bad *** fighters.
I saw that Ali Spinks fight. Ali looked like **** from the opening bell.

It's a real shame some of you cannot recognize what a great example of a PEACEFUL MUSLIM that he was, especially in this day and time when that is so rare. Educate yourselves. Read about him. He chose mainstream Islam, not radical Islam. huge difference there.
