@Ghstwn yeah yeah thats cause my dad told me about that but i just wrote what i remembered plus he lost alot of fans and got rusty cause he went to jail for 2 years he refused to go overseas he said "they never did anything to us"

@ww2guy100 Yes. Actually it he said: " It'll be a Thrilla, and a Chilla, when I meet the Gorilla in Manilla. Now this may shock and Amaze ya,... but I'm gonna retire Joe Fraizer!" ;) But it was far from an easy fight thanks to Joe.
@ww2guy100 Ali was convicted of draft evasion and was sentenced to 5 years. But they appealed the ruling and Ali remained free until the supreme court overturned the conviction by an 8 to 0 vote. Ali never did time in jail as he was out on bail. But he was robbed of 3 1/2 years of his boxing career though. Which would have been his prime years as a boxer. 26, 27, 28. He was over 29 when he was allowed to fight again. Still he managed to have an incredible second career.
