Well, Ali's claim that he had suddenly converted to Islam and was a minister was undeniably an attempt to avoid the draft, plaina nd simple. His boxing skills were among the best ever, but he did have a big mouth.

Joe Frazier beat Ali on points which was totally, totally thought to be impossible and broke the myth of Ali's invincibility. I rooted for Joe in that one.
