Joe Lewis and Sugar Ray Robinson- Both Army

Cassius Clay [Muhammad Ali] never served. He was drafted, but refused to go based on his religious beliefs. He had recently become a Muslim [Doesn't seem to stop those Muslims everywhere else]. He was finally classified as a CO. It was quite a scandal back then, and almost ended his boxing career.

[Dragon Lady]

Fris, thanks for setting me straight on that one. I had always been under the impression that he served. How can one be a CO and still pummel people to near death? That makes no sense what so ever.

MM, you'll love the book!
