Ali didn't so much fight it, he simply refused to go. VN was a poor man's war. The draft still existed, if you had pull on your local draft board or an exemption for college, a doctors excuse or were just willing to wait it out, you could get away scott free. But not the poor folks who had none...
Ali was a great boxer, great control of the ring. Fast as a light weight, powerful as a heavy weight. Chin of stone. Now for his refusal to serve. He turned muslim just as he was to be called up. Said muslims didn't believe in violence. Boxing is fairly violent, I've done a little, you can get...
They also missed out on watching him be a coward by refusing to serve his country while so many others went. He was suddenly a muslim and as we all know, muslims disavow violence.
Hey TS, you must be an awfully patient man. No way I would put up with the abuse you take. There are a bunch of bullies and Tuff Guys on VN, all waiting to take a shot at anyone that seems to know something. Doesn't matter who it is, fair game,all. Keyboard cowboys.
