British boxer that fought Cassius Clay twice has passed away

I remember him vividly.
i don't recall him at all..

but RIP.

i really had no respect for Ali, i think it was his draft dodging, which was termed NO, he did not dodge, but to me he did....

very good fighter, i'll give him that,,,,,but i NEVER saw one of his fights, due to his "dodging the draft"


No, Muhammad Ali did not dodge the draft in the sense of evading it; rather, he refused to be inducted, citing his religious beliefs and moral opposition to the Vietnam War. He reported for induction but refused to step forward and take the oath. This led to his conviction for draft evasion, the stripping of his heavyweight boxing title, and a suspension from the sport. However, his conviction was eventually overturned by the Supreme Court in 1971.
