Although Ali had not been charged or arrested for violating the Selective Service Act--much less convicted--the New York State Athletic Commission and World Boxing Association suspended his boxing license and stripped him of his heavyweight title in May of 1967, minutes after he officially announced that he would not submit to induction. Ali said to Sports Illustrated contributor Edwin Shrake, "I'm giving up my title, my wealth, maybe my future. Many great men have been tested for their religious beliefs. If I pass this test, I'll come out stronger than ever."Originally posted by Frazier's 15th round
Eventually Ali was sentenced to five years in prison, released on appeal, and his conviction overturned three years later..... want to keep calling people names ???

Ali never spent a day in prison. He was out speaking on campuses and such. He was even loaned money by Joe Frazier to pay for his food and hotel.Comment

off topic ever see this....Richard Hirschfeld, a colorful confidant of boxing champ Muhammad Ali who spent most of the last eight years as a fugitive from the federal government, killed himself Tuesday in jail.
Hirschfeld, 57, died the same day authorities told his attorney that final arrangements had been made to move him to Norfolk, Va., for trial. He had been on the lam for more than eight years until he was arrested in October in a closet at a lavish riverfront home in Fort Lauderdale.
Paramedics were called to the jail, and Hirschfeld was pronounced dead a short time later at a hospital, said U.S. Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Trish O'Steen. Authorities would not say how he killed himself.
"It was a real shock to us," said attorney Alvin Entin. "He seemed much more of a fighter than a person that had those kind of mood swings."
Hirschfeld accompanied Ali to the Middle East in 1985 in a highly publicized attempt to gain the release of American hostages in Lebanon. They later had a falling out over the legal rights to the boxer's life story.
Although Ali denied it, federal prosecutors claimed Hirschfeld imitated the boxer's voice on lobbying phone calls to U.S. senators in the 1980s when the lawyer was driving a Rolls-Royce and living on a 50-acre ******ia farm with the retired boxer.
Hirschfeld was representing ousted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos when he secretly recorded their conversations about a plot for Marcos to regain power. Hirschfeld took the tapes to a congressional committee in 1987.
Hirschfeld was convicted of tax evasion and securities fraud charges in 1991, and was wanted on federal conspiracy charges when he was captured last year. He faced up to 70 years in prison.
The conspiracy charges covered a scheme to be furloughed from prison after the 1991 convictions.Comment
