We know many of the great things this man did but let's not paint him to be a God. I know we're all fallible but he had 9-10 children with 5-6 different women including four wives and 1-2 baby mamas.

So did Brigham Young. Heck BY had a lot more children and baby mamas than Ali could dream of having. Ali personal failing as you call them, can't tarnish what he meant to the sports world and society. Few people are willing to go to jail for their person beliefs so I agree he wasn't God but he was a great human being loved by millions.

Athlete of the Century? Who they trying to shuck? No athlete that performs only twice a year can be considered as the athlete of the Century! My choice would have been Nolan Ryan! 7 NO HITTERS, 2 of them after he turned 40! 5,000 strikeouts and 12 ONE HITTERS!

This post shows how much of a clown you are. Ryan isn't in the top 10-20 best pitchers of the 20th century. Maybe even top 30-40.

So because Brigham Young did it, it makes it okay? Ali was a known womanizer and had affair after affair. I think the bad should be pointed with the good most of us know about.

Good point! Ali certainly "reaped what he had sown!" Those beatings he took from Frazier and other boxing matches, turned him into a vegetable the last 10 years or so of his life, and he was a pathetic sight to see when he did venture out into the public.
