I can't think of a greater man to honor another great man.

Wonder if Klitoon would make the same bus boy comments to Ali that he made about obama?

Doubt it. He actually respected Ali IMO.
 
Bill Clinton was a draft dodger and Ali got called but refused to serve. Both are traitors.

Yo, makes since? But I think Bill and Hillary Clinton has ties to the Muslim Community in the whole World, you know? Cash under the table, it only makes since!!! How they would ask someone like Bill Clinton, an Immoral Man like Obama, to speak at Ali`s Funeral, is beyond me!!! A Great Man Like Ali, letting a Moron like Bill Clinton utter a word at his Funeral, WOW!!!

I wonder how much Ali's estate is having to donate to the Clinton Foundation...

Why because they refused to become slaves to politicians that wanted to send them off to pointless wars to kill or be killed? and apparently you're not aware that Ali gave up the prime years of his career (and millions of dollars) and risked imprisonment to stand up for what he believed in.

"Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality.

If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years.
" -- Muhammad Ali
 
Ali died broke but that is the best way to die.
He died as a hero to many millions of people all over the globe and he'll be remembered and admired by those people and there descendants for many decades to come which seems to me is the best way to go.

"I've made my share of mistakes along the way, but if I have changed even one life for the better, I haven't lived in vain." -- Muhammad Ali
