'Muhammad Ali blasted both the WBA and WBC Boxing Organizations as Racists'.
Muhammad Ali has denounced both the WBA and WBC Boxing Organizations as racists,
for threatening to 'strip' him of his Championship if he defends his WBA/WBC Title
against 'unranked' Alfredo Evangelista.
Muhammad Ali,
"Many Champions have defended their Title against unranked Challengers. Joe Louis did it,
Rocky Marciano did it, and Floyd Patterson did it. And nobody threatened to take away their
Championship Belt."
"Alfredo Evangelista is ranked, and he has knocked out 16 of 18 opponents. So what that he's only
Age 22, that shouldn't mean he's not qualified. I'm an old man now, and I can't make every defense
against the Top-ranked guys. I should be afforded the luxury of an easy defense every now and then."
"
I want to give the lesser known/unranked Challengers a chance."
"They're {WBA and WBC} pulling that
'Racist S***'.

Could this be considered proof that Muhammad Ali deliberately fought fringe fighters?

They all deliberately fought fringe fighters.
As long as they fought the best as well, which Ali obviously did, what does it matter?
Remember, with The Duchess, you only get half the story and even that half is usually all mixed up with opinion presented as fact and made up racist quotes to try and stir the pot.

It's all the proof some of us need. Once a fringe challenger fighter....always a fringe challenger fighter.
Turns out he's nothing but a no good, low down, double dealin' back stabbin, larcenous, perverted FRINGE FIGHTER!
