  1. Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky. He was named after his father, Cassius Marcellus Clay Sr., who was named for the 19th century abolitionist and politician Cassius Clay.

    Muhammad Ali has been married four times and has seven daughters and two sons.

    Ali met his first wife, cocktail waitress Sonji Roi, approximately one month before they married on August 14, 1964.

    Roi's objections to certain Muslim customs in regard to dress for women contributed to the breakup of their marriage.

    They divorced on January 10, 1966.

    On August 17, 1967, Ali (aged 25) married 17-year old Belinda Boyd. After the wedding, she converted to Islam and changed her name to Khalilah Ali, though she was still called Belinda by old friends and family.

    They had four children: Maryum (b. 1968), Jamillah and Liban (b. 1970), and Muhammad Ali Jr. (b. 1972).

    However, Ali began an affair with a young woman named Veronica Porsche in 1974.

    By the summer of 1977, Ali's second marriage was over and he had married Veronica.

    At the time of their marriage, they had a baby girl, Hana, and Veronica was pregnant with their second child.

    Their second daughter, Laila, was born in December of 1977. By 1986, Ali and Veronica were divorced.

    On November 19, 1986, Ali married Yolanda Ali.

    They had been friends since 1964 in Louisville.

    Their mothers were close friends, although Lonnie has publicly denied the popular notion that Muhammad Ali was once her babysitter. They have one adopted son, Asaad.

    Ali has two other daughters, Miya and Khaliah, from extramarital relationships.


  2. Props to you Maurice.  That was very well said.  

    Cory,  What do Ali, Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano have in common?   ALL are very well liked and respected champions.  

    There is an unwritten rule in life that says a lot about a person who would bad-mouth someone who is so well admired.  As great as he is,  just ask people how they felt when Larry Holmes made that "jock strap" remark about Marciano.
