And a cummerbund with ruffled shirt. It could be a Mercedes-Benz emblem.

Just for the record, it was the Ali-Quarry match. Anyone still calling him Clay by 1970--six years after he changed his name--clearly had a racial axe to grind.

AlanC doesn't even have a fur fedora.

I dunno. Maybe they are just anti-Muslim.

I had the same thought.

He was Clay until he won the title in 64. In 1970 many older blacks still called Clay.
Floyd Patterson was still calling him Clay into the 90s.

Back in the day, pimps were at or near ringside and attended the big parties.

How do you wear that many layers with a giant fur coat in an packed indoor arena without suffering a heat stroke?
