Muhammad Ali cherry-picking

[witherspoon]

They're saying Ali doesn't have long to live.

Hope that's not true. If it is, I hope he gets a more dignified exit than Manny Steward.

Honestly, he's lived a lot longer than I thought he would. That's a debilitating disease and he's battled it for over two decades.

It was from an interview with his brother who also said he doesn't know if he'll live for a day or for months.

I don't think he and his brother are even in contact. My bad.

Saw a photo of Ali wearing a Ravens' sweatshirt , while watching the Super Bowl at home. He actually looked much more expressive than usual. Hardly at death's door. I wonder what Rahman has against his brother these days. to make him spout nonsense. He's supposed to be in poor shape financially, so maybe the British tabloids paid him a pretty penny to .shake up the world. Shame on you Rahman. Ali employed you handsomely during his glory days, so show some gratitude.

Gregorio Peralta

Gregorio Peralta

Gregorio Peralta what? Ali never fought him. However, undersized Peralta's strong showings against Foreman, using slick boxing, did convince me that Ali would win the Rumble in the Jungle. Sure, Ali didn't use traditional boxing skills in that bout, but Peralta demonstrated what a talented thinking fighter could do against George.

The fact that he calls himself Rahman ( he was born Rudi ) without the struggles that his brother suffered do to his strongly held beliefs, tells you all you need to know.

That's utterly ridiculous.

Oh really?

Do tell us all about Rudi ( Rahman ) having his ability to travel abroad taken away from him. How about a jail sentence hanging over his head, or his livelihood taken away from him.

I'm sure i'm not the only one waiting for you to enlighten us.

They both changed their names, and they both suffered in line with their respective public profiles. I don't know much about Rahman/Rudi, but not being punished for changing his name doesn't make him a bad person, even if other things do.

Just read the article is there any truth to much of it? Not just the part about Ali's health.

Wth!
