Ali - The Fight America Didnt WantPaperback
Has everything been said about Muhammad Ali, once the most famous man in the world? No. In early 1970, a fight involving Ali was avoided by just about every city in America - until Atlanta in Georgia decided to take a chance. There is one special bout that has, over time, been largely overlooked, where both the fight and shenanigans surrounding it have never been fully examined.
The comparison of Ali's comeback bout with that of 'Great White Hope' Jim Jeffries and his return against Jack Johnson in 1910 was unavoidable. They proposed an Ali fight with 'Great White Hope' Jerry Quarry. Atlanta, once fertile soil for the racism, was inundated with objections when a prize fight involving Ali, a black Muslim draft evader facing a possible five-year prison sentence, was planned.
When the 'Black Mecca' of the South eventually put on the fight it attracted not only Ali's legion of die-hard fans
