The biggest troll of them all tries to ruin it in post 3, do one Pete you ****

"Cassius Clay is a slave name. I didn't choose it and I don't want it. I am Muhammad Ali, a free name - it means beloved of God - and I insist people use it when people speak to me and of me."
Announcing his conversion to the Muslim faith after first Sonny Liston fight

When he fought Ernie Terell, who refuse to call him Muhammed Ali,, he yelled "What's my name, fool?" after every punch. Ali battered him for 15 rounds, winning 13 rounds on the judges scorecards. Many think he didn't knock him out on purpose.


An absolute legend.

Erm, how does that make him a legend???

I think that's frankly quite vulgar behaviour from a sportsman!

And I'll bet Ernie still refused to refer to him by Muhammed!

Yup, he converted to Islam in 1964, then converted form the Nation of Islam to orthodox Sunni Muslim in 1975.

Well that particular incident is not what defines him as a legend, but it is a favourite Ali story of mine.

And I was there! The bell saved him

He was a bit of a political firebrand though. Wouldn't be too popular if he did that now. Fantastic boxer. Shame about Parkinsons. Happy Birthday!

He wasn't popular when he did it then! Stripped of the title and sentenced to jail for refusing to go to vietnam. He helped highlight the fact that Vietnam was a poor mans war, 99% of the soldiers were poor white trash or black. The rich kids got out of the draft.

Not all mad, but certainly weak minded, and probably "converted" during low moments of their life or while depressed.

Preying on the weak is the only way you will get anyone to believe some of the rubbish muslims do.

He is one of those people wher epeople all try to be 'considerably more reverential than yow', he was a boxer, a good boxer but ffs still a the end of the day a bloke who punches other blokes for a living, Its like the way Geroge Best gets talked about now, over the top.
