Rocky comes to mind

He is a legend... He has earned it

"Service to others is the rent we pay for our room here on Earth"

Why is it that most times when black men make it they decide to marry white women?

It’s 10 years now now na wa

Yah Rabb, forgive your servant Ali and the believing men and women, those alive and those that have died, and do not shame us on the day that accounts are established

It's an inferiority complex. To some people, marrying a white person is the ultimate "I finally made it" trophy. Many Black people have been conditioned by society to feel that, no matter how successful they become, they're still seen as second-class or second fiddle. In the search for validation and acceptance, some successful Black people end up marrying white partners because they associate it with status, prestige, or having "made it" in society.

Ali was not just a boxer ,..he was an all round entertainer. A wordsmith,poet,rapster and comedian rolled into one

Keep resting my idolo, legend of the game.

I hope you are not a woman.

The ultimate number one reason is that black women worldwide have high entitlement personality. White women fall in love genuinely and will spend money to prove it. If you were a man whom will you choose?

If you are a boxing fan , and you haven't watched thrilla in Manilla, you are missing . That fight was part of what caused Ali's parkinson . Rip to you champ

Mehn .... Muhammad Ali is as handsome and also a Poet with toughness like nails.

I still remember vividly when we fought and I beat the heavens out of him.

He's lucky it was before the invention of Internet and good cameras

You mean the man who change his name from a revolutionary good abolitionist man --- cassius clay to a white man Muhammad Ali--- that raided black communities, sold them as slaves for less .



I dare anyone especially muslims debaters to ask me for evidences

Poem by Muhammad Ali

"This is the legend of Cassius Clay,
The most beautiful fighter in the world today.
He talks a great deal, and brags indeed-y,
of a muscular punch that's incredibly speed-y.
The fistic world was dull and weary,
But with a champ like Liston, things had to be dreary.
Then someone with color and someone with dash,
Brought fight fans are runnin' with Cash.
This brash young boxer is something to see
And the heavyweight championship is his des-tin-y.
This kid fights great; he’s got speed and endurance,
But if you sign to fight him, increase your insurance.
This kid's got a left; this kid's got a right,
If he hit you once, you're asleep for the night.
And as you lie on the floor while the ref counts ten,
You’ll pray that you won’t have to fight me again.
For I am the man this poem’s about,
The next champ of the world, there isn’t a doubt.
This I predict and I know the score,
I’ll be champ of the world in ’64.
When I say three, they’ll go in the third,
10 months ago

So don’t bet against me, I’m a man of my word.
He is the greatest! Yes!
I am the man this poem’s about,
I’ll be champ of the world, there isn’t a doubt.
Here I predict Mr. Liston’s dismemberment,
I’ll hit him so hard; he’ll wonder where October and November went.
When I say two, there’s never a third,
Standin against me is completely absurd.
When Cassius says a mouse can outrun a horse,
Don’t ask how; put your money where your mouse is!
I AM THE GREATEST!"

Mohammed Ali the best midfielder Italy has ever produced. May his soul continue to rest in peace.

Ali's wife, Lonnie (Yolanda) is black, not white.

Ali himself could have passed off as white if not for his hair.

Muhammed Ali's mother, Odessa, had grand parents who were children of white men which explains his complexion.

Lonnie probably has such close mixed heritage as well.

Most black men? Where on earth did you get that statistics? You have committed a fallacy of hasty generalization. Marriage is a personal thing. Leave a man or woman with his/her choice. No be everybody get strength for some class of people’s shenigan.
