The coolest thing about Muhammad Ali... as Mike Greeney pointed out the morning of...
yea he was a boxing beast... yea he beat some of the best ever in his sport and will forever be remembered as one of the GOATs
but he had MORE RL impact in social equality and injustice in America than he ever could have hoped to accomplish in a boxing ring... Who the fuck, at the age of 20 decides "I'm going to take on the American government"... Frazier's a smallfry...
RIP... I'm glad he isn't suffering through life anymore and he'll be remembered forever... not much more you can accomplish in a lifetime...
