Muhammad Ali finally died at age 74 after a long bout with Parkinson's desease probably brought on by a career of head punches from heavyweights. Jerry Quarry died at a comparatively young age after taking a zillion head shots including a 15 round fight with the former Cassius Clay.
It was perhaps pneumonia though that finally defeated the former world champ. Anyone over 55 should get a pneumonia shot. That disease takes those with weakened immune systems and is hard to beat off since their are no cures for viruses really, and pneumonia is a virus that clogs the lungs and seems to never go away.
The late Joe Frazier was the fighter that put down Ali first. Though of short stature Frazier was one tough dude who unfortunately suffered the worst knockout punch in boxing history himself later to George Foreman's uppercut that lifted him off his feet.
Ali in a later decade would have been a pro football player rather than a boxer. Even by the 1960's the best athletes were in the NFL, N.B.A. or Major League Baseball rather than in the ring. The last white fighter-Rocky Marciano who died undefeated in a plane crash, would not have been a better football player than John Riggins, Jim Brown or Lawrence Taylor and neither perhaps would Ali.
Pro boxing experienced a small rival with the Russian boxers for a time after the end of the cold war, yet the heavyweight ranks have diminished since the rise of pro sports. Mike Tyson versus Joe Frazier would have been an interesting match, yet neither or either might have been good running backs for the Cowboys, its hard to say.
Muhammad Ali would not fight in Vietnam and so became popular with the left. He claimed his Muslim beliefs made him a c.o. ISIS and AL Qaeda could claim the same and would probably also be disbelieved by a federal draft board. The 1960s civil rights era evolved into a mainstream confusion of several anti-American and globalist causes that continue today. Civil rights should apply to all Americans as individuals rather than as special classes with special class rights. The good intentions of integration have been an excuse for the corruption of equal protection of the law. It is vital that law be based on individual rights rather than race, sex or behavior class rights if economic injustice is to be corrected rather than increased.
