What is the source of this information?

We get it, you don't like Ali.

That's all I'm saying to your inane posts from now on, since that's basically yourwhole motive for even posting here.

Get with the program, Buzz. He's just happy to have found a forum that doesn't mind a bit of racism every now and then.

He made it up. Same as all the other stuff.

Here's a suggestion, Buzz.

It has been used in here before when Stacy was creating thread after thread with his obsession which was that trailer park boxing nonsense.

He then started hijacking other threads with the same drivel.

What they did was tell him he could have one thread for his obsession and to keep all his obsessive posts in that thread. If he started another thread related to his obsession, it was immediately deleted. If he ventured into other threads and started posting about his obsession, his posts were deleted.

It worked well. If you wanted to interact with Stacy and his obsession, his thread was always there but, if you didn't, you could avoid all reference to his obsession by keeping out of that thread.

I think we have reached the point now where you need to rein The Duchess in.

This seems like a fair compromise.

Muhammad was asked to make an appearance at the Tulse Hill Comprehensive in South London,.

Civil Rights Campaigner - Paul Richardson had asked the Champion if he would make an appearance
at the school, and talk to the Students who were all Muhammad Ali fans.

Muhammad agreed, and did make an appearance by spending an hour or so of his time chatting to
the students as well as 'shadow boxing' with a few young admirers.

When Muhammad was done, he had the 'balls' to ask for 'appearance money'.

Richardson was on the schools board of governors which was how the visit came about.

Richardson met him at a hotel and asked Ali to visit the school. "We continued to chat and he wanted to know how much I’d pay him. I looked him straight in the eye and said: ‘Muhammad, I haven’t got a dollar.’ He responded ‘Not even a dime? You have more nerve than Frazier.’

When he visited Ali got on stage and said -

I like your school Mr Stephenson
I admire your style
but your pay is so cheap
I won’t be back for a while

He was also asked who his toughest fight was against to which he replied "my first wife"

In other words he was joking.

Edit: this was in response to Buzz's post that seems to have been removed.

I don't remember him walking backwards onto the plane?

Shock horror, a boxer trying to get as much money as possible. All we need now is for "Money" Mayweather to start selling merchandise online.

Where did that quote come from? Can you cite the source?

Yeah Ali has done nothing to help others.

"He has since devoted his life to helping promote world peace, civil rights, cross-cultural understanding, interfaith relations, humanitarianism, hunger relief, and the commonality of basic human values. His work as an ambassador for peace began in 1985, when he flew to Lebanon to secure the release of four hostages. Ali also has made goodwill missions to Afghanistan and North Korea; delivered over $1 million in medical aid to Cuba; traveled to Iraq to secure the release of 15 United States hostages during the first Gulf War; and journeyed to South Africa to meet Nelson Mandela upon his release from prison. His recent attempt to free two American hikers held captive in Iran reinforces his tireless commitment to promoting freedom, tolerance, and humanity around the world."

"Throughout his boxing career, Ali’s highly publicized fights in locales such as Kinshasa, Manila, and Kuala Lumpur brought increased global attention to the developing world. Today, he continues to serve those in need overseas, providing over 232 million meals to the world’s hungry. Ali has hand-delivered food and medical supplies to children in Cote D’Ivoire, Indonesia, Mexico, and Morocco, among other countries."

"In addition to his international efforts, Ali is equally devoted to helping charities at home. He has visited countless numbers of soup kitchens and hospitals, and helped organizations including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Special Olympics. He also annually participates in Celebrity Fight Night, which generates funds for the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona."

Ali once said, “I’ve always wanted to be more than just a boxer. More than just the three-time heavyweight champion. I wanted to use my fame, and this face that everyone knows so well, to help uplift and inspire people around the world.”

"In November 2005, Ali and his wife Lonnie opened the Muhammad Ali Center in their hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Both an education center and museum experience, the Ali Center inspires children and adults to be as great as they can be, and encourages people around the globe to form new commitments in their lives in areas of personal growth, integrity, and respect for others."

"Muhammad Ali has received some of the world’s most prestigious awards. He has been honored by Amnesty International with their “Lifetime Achievement Award.” Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations and former Liberty Medal recipient, bestowed him with a citation as “United Nations Messenger of Peace.” Ali also was named the “International Ambassador of Jubilee 2000,” a global organization dedicated to relieving debt in developing nations. In 2005, he was presented with the Presidential Citizens Medal and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom."

And where did all these wonderful gifts come from.........The Government of Zaire {President; Mbotu}

Quite a way short of the estimated $15 billion President Mbotu stole from his "people" then.

Yeah....Ali was all up on the world political aspects. That's what he spent his life doing...honing his diplomatic skills with hopes of someday working in the State Dept......they often called him in for his political take on all the Sunday Talk Shows. You give him credit for being too smart for everything on one side of your gripes, and too dumb for everything on the other side of your gripes. You are consistent.

On occasion, as well as every now, and again, you appear to be nearly preoccupied with the faults you perceive in this fighter.
