Muhammad Ali

he won one medal and threw it in the river after being refused in a restoraunt

Ali and Foreman got $5 million each.

Don King had just began his professional career as promoter and he managed to generate the $10 million by asking Zaire's president Mobutu Sésé Seko for the money and Mobutu asked for the fight to be held in his country, since he was eager for the publicity such a high-profile event would bring.

Don King had also pulled together a consortium that included a Panamanian company called Risnelia Investment, the Hemdale Film Corporation, a British company founded by film producer John Daly and the actor David Hemmings, Video Techniques Incorporated of New York and Don King Productions.

Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) was the last prophet of Islam. Muhammad Ali and millions of Muslims are his followers. If you mean, Hazrat Ali, he was the cousin and son-in-law of the holy Prophet (SAW). He was the fourth Rightful Caaliph of Islam.

No. Tatyana Ali's parents are named Sonia and Sherriff Ali. She is not related to Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali has daughters named Rasheeda, Jamilla, Maryu, Hana, Laila, Miya and Khaliah.

His mother

As of November 13, 2007 he is still very much alive.

He got WAYY too many hits to his head and that's why he suffers from brain damage. Plus it could have affected his vision and hearing. Do not box. It's gay.

During the first gulf way, he went over to Iraq to meet Saddam and negotiate their release.

Ali was found guilty of draft evasion in June, 1967 and sentenced to five years in prison and fined $10,000. The U.S. Supreme Court reversed the conviction in June, 1971.

Muhammad Ali/Cassius Clay was never knocked out in the ring.

He was however knocked down on several occasions, most famously by Joe Frazier in the final round of their 1970 'Fight of the Century.

Ali was also knocked down by Henry Cooper, Chuck Wepner (although Ali claimed it was an accidental trip) and Sonny Banks.

Incidentally, Frazier, Banks and Cooper all knocked Ali down with the same punch, a left hook. /jw: Larry Holmes "stopped" Ali in his one before last match, spoiling his record in that, regard. A TKO, a KO what ever you call it. **Yes, Muhammad Ali wasn't ever counted out in any boxing match.

Ali retired several times, BUT the last time was right after he was defeated by Trevor Berbick on December 11, 1981.

he has a brother named Rahaman "Rudy" Ali.

He objected to the war on moral grounds.

Ali won the olympic gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 1960 rome Olympics, then turned pro that same year.

He threw his medal into the river after being refused entry into a whites only restaurant in his home town of Louisville. But was given another one at the 1996 games in Atlanta GA.

He lives in Louisville, Kentucky (as of 2010).

For the first fight in Miami, Ali weighed 210 1/2 pounds and Liston weighed 218 pounds. Click on the 'Clay/Liston Intro' link below to see a tape of the fighters entering the ring and being introduced before the first fight.

Yes, he did at one point. He has admitted to it.

Had many friends hes Mr. Ali jeesh but one of his tops was Joe Frazier

Ali is believed to have earned $60, million in purses as a professional, and squandered it by the time he retired, but makes his living nowadays with public appearances.

he got $5.5 million for fighting foreman and two and a half million for the first Joe Frazier fight,

Don King screwed him on the Larry Holmes fight and i think he only got $20,000 plus another $50,000 out of court settlement when he tried to sue.

refusing to serve in the military

Ali is important for his career in boxing and for the way he stood up to the Government for his belief in his religion (refusal to join military). Muhammad Ali always took special pride and knowledge in his African ancestral roots, but the guy was not out there acting as Martin Luther King. What really made the grade on the Ali legend is how he continued to win, when he wasn't expected to. Liston first bout was start. The Foreman match, also was a big really big upset and surprise, especially to the American people. It should be remembered that black fighters were already dominating the Heavyweight scene in boxing ever since Joe Louis was at the helm (pretty much). So, Ali being a black and at the top, really wasn't anything new.

they are named after the r3tard3d kid Jayden Pittaway :) alson known as Ranga jnr after his father :P

Mohammad Ali was arrested on the draft evasion charges.

Ali was incredibly proud of the gold medal he won in the the 1960 Rome Olympics. People said he wore it all the time. One day he while wearing the medal he was refused service at a Louisville restaurant.That incident prompted him to throw the medal into the Ohio River.
