By the way, do you think the name Muhammad Ali, 'Minister' was created to just possibly
avoid induction into the U.S. Selective Service,,,,,,,,
Just maybe a 'little bit'..................![]()
Let's be real, Cassius Clay liked the good life and wanted it to stay that way.............
He couldn't even be honest with himself...........Very Sad
What exactly did he have to lose by joining the military is the argument I don't get it is very clear that he never would of gone to war. So your argument that he changed his name only to avoid going to war is pretty weak.klompton wrote:Il Duce wrote:I guess those checks from WBA Treasurer - Nick Kerasiotti were 'invisible'...........

His name was: Kerasiotis, not Kerasiotti. Youd think youd know that if he was signing all of those checks...
that still doesn't answer exactly what he had to gain by not being inducted into the military. Do you have any evidence that he didn't change his name for religious reason?Il Duce wrote:Cassius Clay 'did not' change his name.......
And it had nothing to do with the Vietnam War.
It had everything to do with avoiding Induction into the United States Military, of which
Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. was a citizen of in the United States.
He originally 'switched' his name to 'Cassius X', which was not a legal name change through
the Court Clerks office.
The difference being that those men would of seen the actual war Ali wouldn't have the most he ever would have done was box some exhibitions for the troops so tell me again what did he have to gain by refusing induction into the militaryIl Duce wrote:I think I you look back and check the Newspaper Articles from the Summer of 1963, you will see what
was happening with Cassius and the U.S. Selective Service.
Cassius Clay first 'switched' his name to 'Cassius X' and became a self-proclaimed Minister with the
Black Muslim Religion.
This was done to 'hedge' the bet against possible {possible now} future induction.
Nobody really believed this was a 'true conversion', and really was just more of an act to 'insulate' Cassius.
Many young American Men 'White, Black and Brown' pulled the same 'dance and shuffle' move in an effort to
skirt around the Selective Service Act.
So if not for religious reason which you believe to not be true what did he have to gain by refusing to enter the military?Il Duce wrote:Not everybody who entered the Vietnam War was fighting in the Rice Paddies of the Mekong River Delta,
Maybe only 10% of the Draftee's were actually fighting on the Ground.
My cousin was Drafted, and ended working on Medevac Helicopters in Taiwan.
Not sure what Cassius was thinking, as he was not the 'brightest bulb' out there you know.
He failed the Military Mental Aptitude Test...........'twice'.
To fail that test 'twce', you're either a borderline 'imbecile' or faking it.

Following his loss by "TKO 13" to old man 46 year-old Rocky Marciano, Muhammad purchased
a home in the 'swank' Overbrook section Philadelphia.
The $92,000 {equal to $700,000 in Todays power value} is a fine home in the upscale community.
Not sure where Muhammad was suffering,,,,,,,,,,surely not in America....
I salute you......... Muhammad Ali.
