[QUOTE="MadDogs, post: 2882276, member: 11175"] People need to vet their "role models". I know two people that have come across Ali. One was a boxer who had been in the gym training when Ali and his camp were in training. He said that Ali was always talking trash and saying racist crap to every white guy ... regardless if he was a boxer or what. The other was a LEO who was son's godfather who was also an ex-fighter (I watched him wrist an LA Phone Book once) and Ali (might have been Clay at the time) went off on him about being "Italian" and how he would kick his ass just for being "kinda white". I can't imagine walking in his shoes and going through what he had to go through and with that kind of understand "why" he came off to some as being "racist". Still ... not a fan but basically as I said earlier ... I don't know how anyone could have beat Liston. [/QUOTE]
