Ali is out of
any box. Because I am a Mexican I had a
different relationship with blacks. They
are totally different from my expectation; some of them are spectacular,
totally out of this world for the good.
Ali is that, I read the encounter he had with the Beatles. It is real encounter of blacks vs whites in
the US; a postmodern encounter:
But as the Beatles piled back into their
limo, they had a considerably different opinion of the meeting. They reportedly
told Benson that they’d never speak to him again, with one grousing that the
whole experience had been “degrading. You made a fool of us!”
Back in the gym, Clay completed his workout, then stretched out in his
dressing room for a rubdown and a little more verbal sparring with the press.
After scolding a nearby reporter who doubted his chances against the fearsome
Liston, Cassius eventually
turned to Lipsyte with a puzzled look and asked about the four long-haired
young Englishmen he’d been clowning with for the cameras earlier: “Who were
those little sissies?”
Ali
knew who he was and his grammar when talking was according to it; he was a brave
man facing the unknown. Sonny Liston
felt without being touched, he lost the fight before fighting it. What is the relationship with triathlon? We have the same problem in Mexico, we lost
the race without starting it because we do not believe in what we do or we do
not do what we know we should do.
Ignorance about the world (what a hard worker is for the competitive
world) or ignorance about the steps needed to be successful. Ali knew that when you are in the ring the
opponent wants to harm (or kill) you badly; there is no place for doubters. He lived his life following his grammar (Philosophy):
that is what made him the greatest.
