I like him, I never liked boxing, most of it was because of my being bullied never knew how to fight. But his core reason for doing all that according to him from the interviews I saw over my life, it still amounted to he didn't want to disappoint Allah and to me that is no different than when a Christian says they don't want to end up in hell. He wanted to do good, which is good, but he thought to do that you needed a belief in a non existent being.
He WAS right about war though. Why should anyone go over to another country and murder individuals you never met just because the governments don't get along. That part I did like about his logic.
He still had the same fear of the afterlife I saw in my Catholic Mom, who would take a communion "just in case". As strong as he was, just like my mom, most humans fear the thought of being finite. My mom was an awesome person, and Ali certainly did contribute to future equality, but neither of them really needed a god. The power was in them.
