rip cassius marcellus clay, one of the best to have ever done it, today is a sad day
- Kind of a dick using the name he clearly doesn't want to use.pango
- huh? it's the name he was born with. he doesn't want anything now, he's dead. wow pango, you just have to nitpick every little thing i say, get a life********
- It's a name he ditched and have been pissed when people refer him as that after he changed him name. If you didn't know that's then its fine. but if youpango
- knowingly calling him that and take a jab at him right after he died. then you are definitely a dick.pango
- The new champion soon renounced Cassius Clay as his "slave name" and said he would be known from then on as Muhammad Alijaylarson
- i guarantee you that i care more about the sport of boxing and his contribution to it than you, thanks for coming out though, sorry to have hurt your feelings********
- So you do know. and yet you called him the name he ditched.pango
- give it a rest pango, you're dislike of me is clogging up this thread with bullshit and yet you want to come at me on the grounds of not showing respect********
- Hey don't look at me. you started it. I even explained it it's fine if you didn't know. Take it easy. I really don't think i was being that harsh on you.pango
- you are instigating in a rip thread pango, are you proud of yourself********
- Are you? taking a jab at some one on the day he died?pango
- jab? really? *giggle :DPonyBoy
- cum on cloth!utopian
- No Pun intended... :|pango
- Yea using that name was intentionally dick-move. You knew what you were doing man. Its either a fuck you to him...sofakingback
- Or you want to assert you know so much about him you know his name. Hoping someone would ask: Why is Cassius Clay?sofakingback
- Either way, dick move. Its ok. all is forgiven.sofakingback
- You guys are looking way too deep into my motives. Sorry you guys got so offended, he isn't********
- You're probably right. My bad.sofakingback
- apology accepted.pango

For terry.
During the lead up to the bout, Terrell repeatedly called Ali "Clay", much to Ali's annoyance (Ali called Cassius Clay his "slave name"). The two almost came to blows over the name issue in a pre-fight interview with Howard Cosell. Ali seemed intent on humiliating Terrell. "I want to torture him," he said. "A clean knockout is too good for him."[48] The fight was close until the seventh round when Ali bloodied Terrell and almost knocked him out. In the eighth round, Ali taunted Terrell, hitting him with jabs and shouting between punches, "What's my name, Uncle Tom... what's my name?"- referring to him as his birth name doesn't bother him now, he's dead. you have never watched the tapes of that fight, don't fucking lecture me********
- I won't lecture you if you stop being a dick.pango
- your fake indignance is clogging up this thread********
- right right. make this about me. when you couldn't admit you were accidentally being a dick.pango
- yuri von cum clothutopian
- terry, I think this might be similar to how you see people disrespecting the dead in the Shooting of the day thread. Get it?monospaced
- All I see is pango being disengenous and you being vindictive but there's nothing new about any of that********
- Well like you said. you know more about Ali, then you must know he renounced that name because of its history of slavery. You knowingly usedpango
- His slave name on the day he died. And your best excuse was. He's dead. He doesn't care. Intentional or not. You have to admit that came out dickish.pango
- You can talk about me when you got nothing better to say. Talk about me being disgenous. You still made that comment.pango
- pango the mosquito, buzzing excitedly in my ear about absolutely nothing. what a pedantic little shit********
- Ha. ya he's got nothing better to say. so he tries to insult people.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯pango - and i thought you were outta here...
?pango - bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz********
- Right. And I thought you're the mature one. :)pango
- Cassius Clay, there you go... fuck off. Draft dodger coward!********
- referring to him as his birth name doesn't bother him now, he's dead. you have never watched the tapes of that fight, don't fucking lecture me

As a kid we didn't have a remote control, I was the remote. I would turn the knob one channel at a time until my dad would say stop. I always had to stop on boxing, everything stopped if Ali was on. Legendary. RIP.

- Yes, big chunky one. It was an old school wood TV cabinet. :)sea_sea
- Those big ass furniture with tiny screen? and 4 channels? lol.... we had one...pango

And now qbn talking about boxing:

"Cassius Clay is a name that white people gave to my slave master. Now that I am free, that I don't belong anymore to anyone, that I'm not a slave anymore, I gave back their white name, and I chose a beautiful African one."
Rest in Peace Ali
- downvoted? LOL! show your face!********
- didn't downvote and not trying to start an argument, but what I always find odd with this admirable decision is that it's an Arab name.IRNlun6
- In which they happened to conquer and enslave much of North Africa.IRNlun6
- true.********
- and weird.********
- Islamic name more than an Arab name. Islam ended slavery but Muslims didn'tBeeswax
- thanks Beeswax!********
- I suppose that comes down to historical perspective because the Barbary wars where directly due to capturing trade vessels and enslaving their captives.IRNlun6
- http://en.wikipedia.…IRNlun6
- I'll stop now though because this isn't the best forum for this conversation. Muhammad Ali was a great but flawed human being.IRNlun6
- Islam ended slavery the what now?detritus
- All of our heroes and saints are flowed. But that's fine. He's being remember for his achievements.pango
- downvoted? LOL! show your face!

So good. The man was a force of nature, unrelenting and built to box.

This is why i liked him—he was a poet:
- ********1
"My conscience won't let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, some poor, hungry people in the mud, for big powerful America, and shoot them for what?"
"They never called me nigger. They never lynched me. They didn't put no dogs on me."
