      Ali RIP is the GOAT , Ali beat every heavyweight in history in his prime , even after prime and with a very sick body he beat legends , Fraizier twice , norton twice , big Forman and so many others , just see the legends he beat , Sonny liston twice , Paterson twice , Foreman , Freizier twice , Norton twice , Shavers , Jimmy Young , Ron Lyle , Jimmy Ellis , Zora Folly , Terrell , Archie More , Chuvalo , Copper twice and ... Ali change boxing for ever and break the sports rulls and split boxing history too before and after Ali , he was lion far far better than legends like Jack Johnson, dempsy , SRR , Joe luise , Paterson , Marsiano , Fraizer , Foreman , Holms , Tyson , SRL , Duran , Roy jones , Lennex , Holyfield , klichcos , .... and todays bum joks AJ , Fury , wilder , he fight and win very of his big fights after his prim robbing by us gov and with a very sick body that show how lionheart he was ,only 3 time lineal heavyweight champion in history , he fight in golden heavyweight era when many of those days boxers are legends of history of sport and easyly beat fighters of other era and Ali rull that time , he is not just best heavyweight of all times but greatest boxer of all times and sport man of last century no one can even close too him , he win trilla in manila , norton 3 , spings the3 lineal championship and... with parkinson. He was champion even out of ring the man with honor who gave up his title and best years of his career for peace,Ali rull the era with gods of HV history and beat all of them at least once even after his prime , legends whome distroy today joks Fury , AJ , Wilder , Ali fight 25 top 100 fighter of all times and beat 24 of them at least once , Fury fight just 2 top 150 , one 38 old (velademir) two who not know how to box (wilder) his other oponents are not in top1000 an these are facts. Even my faverite Mike Tyson fight with some boms and he lost too Buster Duglas a3 level boxer and Holyfield twice and Lennex . No one in history even close too Ali , he will die in the ring but refuse losing like Foreman fight and trilla in manilla that his wife told docters before the fight seeing signs of parkinson. He was lionheart he is THE GOAT.if there was Mount Olympus and all boxing gods of all weights live there , Ali is god of gods he is The Zeus.

But at the same time he himself admitted that when it came to even things like reading, he never had the patience for it, at least in his earlier days. Even his amazing rhymes used a limited vocabulary. Also I think most people who think he wasn’t smart think so because of his slang and the way he speaks, which when contrasted to most other professional entertainers sounds less sophisticated.

      X : I went to school with many different nationalities. The Amish say : Be Careful Among The English.
      The Irish understand & know #racism as well b/c they have fought English Tyranny for centuries.. As have the Scottish (Sean Connery said was a proud Scot) & the Welsh (Richard Burton said to an interviewer he was Welsh never British/English). Ali's confidence comes from self-knowledge & self-belief. He gave up a slave name & embraced his African heritage by being re-named with an African name as a Muslim, not a Christian. Why did he do this? If you know who you are, then where can the shackles of #Racism wear on you? Far too many ppl carry 'mental' shackles around in their brain.. even in 2020 either b/c they do not know who they are (lost heritage) or have conformed to a doctrine (being told who you are from outside of one'self' thus denied FULL EQUALITY) but Ali stood fully in his own truth. A muslim. African. His own name. Free. That's a commonsense few #Americans of ANY COLOR allow themselves out right. Being mindful, aware of #racism is the first step.
      I thank the Irish, Scottish & Welsh for clarity. The Amish & others too. #Racism is a deadly game of #oppression & #genocide where everything is a lie & nothing is real.. unless you buy into it, then like Bob Dylan sang : "He was only a PAWN in their game" .. To be a pawn you need to be the opposite of who Ali was. The opposite of Sean Connery & Richard Burton & so many others.
      Most #Caucasians fail to SEE #Racism .. they think it's an oppression & genocide against #Africans but NOT #Caucasians .. Only the #Irish & others know better. It's true Indigenous, African & Indian diasporas, no doubt, have shouldered most of it b/c melanin can never be anglo-coded. So, Fight #Racism wherever it rears itself, for the only thing it has pure is evil. Oh. "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" .. Support the Protesters. Support Change. The Change will be ONGOING for GENERATIONS so TEACH your children well. Thanks for uploading this video. I miss Ali. He was poetry in motion.
