This is the answer.[/quote]

It is *an* answer.  The wrong one, though.  It's actually hard to come up with one that is more wrong.

Muhammad Ali is highly regarded, even beloved, now, after his death, and in the decade or so preceding it.  He was a magnetic figure, and a sympathetic one, as we saw him decline from TBI.  But back when he was at the height of his career, he was regarded as a draft dodger, stripped of his title, didn't fight for four years, and changed his birth name because it was a "slave name."  A segment of the population revered him, yes . . . but he was absolutely not the most well-regarded athlete in American history while he was actually an athlete.  My father-in-law, who was drafted and did go to Vietnam, still despises him.  [/quote]

you really made up some stuff here to fit your narrative[/quote]

What, precisely, is made up?  Please enlighten me.  [/quote]
