16. Happy 70th!

When he was still Cassius Clay, he was refused service in a restaurant because he was black, right after winning a gold at the Olympics.

He was so furious he threw his medal into the nearest river.

But Ali is the "poster child" for the outlawing of boxing, and Howard Cosell agreed.

Boxing is a "sport" where two people pound on each other, and knocking someone out giving them brain damage is an ultimate goal.

[Whisp]

17. what a guy, love him. Happy Bday, Great One.

[Odin2005]

19. Happy Birthday to the man

He is a man of principles, I like that

[malaise]

20. And he's also drop dead gorgeous

Which I also loved from way back when.

[madokie]

22. Even this old mostly white man would have to say, Yes you are correct.

He won my heart when he said NO I won't go and by damn he didn't. Myself I was too lilly livered to do the same so I go and come back a wreck as many of my brothers and sisters have/did.

[malaise]

23. That was his biggest contribution to humanity but he did an awful lot

for the self-esteem of African people across the globe - many did not know they too were beautiful.

[madokie]

26. Yes he did

he was a champion 100%
