He was offered a pretty cushy situation. He was not afraid of catching a lead slug in the head because there was no risk of that. None. Exhibition boxing.
He had his reasons. Me thinks, peer pressure/input from religious affiliates must have been massive.
The Cassius Clay name use vs Muhammed Ali is childish. He was Grady Clay's cousin, FWIW. Word to your Mother, as Vanilla Ice would say. If you were "colored" you would know the expression is Word to the Mother. Quay turned me onto that. He is colored but not a boxer.
Herbert B. Khaury is Tiny Tim's real name. Put that in your hip pocket for some future wisdom spewage.
Thanks Flintstone for sh**ting on a man's grave.
