@BludySkinz ali had never heard of them before.im guessing he said that though cause lennon made him look stupid.and made him back down first.

@jayfey77 Alright, I just thought Ali had never heard of them before so thats why he said that but I must be wrong.. got any books to suggest cause I only seen a couple of documentaries

@BludySkinz ali saying that isnt in debate ok.im saying ali said you guys aren't as dumb as you look and lennon replied no but you are.and ali stared at lennon and lennon just looked back at him with a serious look on his face and the crowd all got quiet.then ali laughed and everybody started to laugh.you should try reading books more.you can learn so much.

@jayfey77 Are you sure about that? I heard in a documentary which I have on my computer that imeediately after they left, Ali told his trainer: who are those faggots anyway? or something quite similar to that.

@honeybabe68 Sadly, I've heard that he did say "Who were those little faggots?"
during this meeting ali said to the beatles you guys arent as dumb as you look and john replied no but you are,ali looked at him and john looked back all serious not smiling for a second people around thought there was gonna be a fight then ali just started laughing and the beatles laughed back,shows what kind of backbone john had,i doubt any other person alive would have said that to ali.

You know they asked to meet Sonny Liston, who was your champ at that time, and he said "No" to them, so they made arrangements to go with the 'upstart' Cassius Clay. He beat Liston right after that and changed his name the next day, I believe. It was good press for them both and signaled a lot of changes coming up!
