Muhammad Ali was bigger than life, and could back it up. What were your favorite moments from his career?

I remember that he fought Ernie Terrell, who refused to acknowledge his name change. Ali went out and deliberately punished Terrell for 15 rounds, while yelling at him, "What's my name!".

Another time, Michael Dokes told SI that Ali needed to get out of the game, because his hands were too fast for Ali to handle. So Ali did this:

Considering I'm not old enough to have seen him in his prime, I'm gonna say the 1996 Olympics, with the torch.

The time he died and pulled all of the inbreds out of the woodwork so I could update my trashy TD poster records.

He fought before my time and I really don't give a shite about boxing, so he doesn't really rank on my all time important people list.

He had a way with words. From his speech at Howard University in 1967:

quote:

See, we have been brainwashed. Everything good and of authority was made white. We look at Jesus, we see a white with blond hair and blue eyes. We look at all the angels, we see white with blond hair and blue eyes. Now, I'm sure if there's a heaven in the sky and the colored folks die and go to heaven, where are the colored angels? They must be in the kitchen preparing the milk and honey. We look at Miss America, we see white. We look at Miss World, we see white. We look at Miss Universe, we see white. Even Tarzan, the king of the jungle in black Africa, he's white!

The white tries to show the white as all-good. All the good cowboys ride wide horses. Angel food cake is white and devil's food cake is chocolate.

Black dirt is the best dirt. Brown sugar causes fewer cavities, and the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice.

Given the state of race relations in 1967 and since Ali's time on this earth, I can appreciate his opinions on the topic. That same speech in 2016 is a bit ridiculous, but at that point, those metaphors and a touch of hyperbole were a needed message.

I was born in 61'.I won a nickle betting on Frazier in their 1st fight.

I pull for the underdog usually so I was wanting Ali to get knocked out.

Time and Leon Spinks finally caught up with him.

Most impressive to me was beating Foreman the way he did.

Best memories.My Grandmother liked to watch his fights.Ali would fight on ABC on a School night at least 3 times a year.I was 16 and would drive to my Grandparents and watch with my 75 year old Grandparents.

Good times.
