Altho there have been so far not many posts re Ali - I myself for the first time can I say for a black - he was a PRETTY man (not being derogatory or anything) just one helluva good looking black man - don't know where I would put him with Sidney Poitier = another pretty black man.

Two hell of good looking men. Sorry if this butts into the post. jj sorry

No problem JJ. Yes they were both very handsome men.

The white people attending were obviously only acquaintances. Khandro is right. Ali said he had no white friends.
