Brendan, you are quoting Ger Colleran here? Who is Ger?

Brendan-well written but to be kind, I think you are not writing about Clay/Ali. Today in America we have gone to a 100% volunteer military. Even before that we possess the most powerful military on the plant. Ali knew the consequences. Don't do the crime unless you can do the time comes to mind. He was not as you say stripped of anything. He voluntarily broke the law and paid for it, his choice. He was not a prophet of any sort. He left the version of islam he changed his name for when he realized it was a sham/joke. The greatest boxer...yes. Person..far from it. It is documented he explained his white looks or light skin on slave rape, a total lie.

A hero by al means yes. I think he was a peaceful man.3 world titles,  4-5 wives, 9-12 kids? What truth can we learn from him really? I guess it depends on your definition of hero.
