Wasn’t Ali a draft dodger?

I wonder what Moh told the guy...

What Really Happened podcast did a great episode on this... completely set up situation but you get why after hearing the backstory.

And... It was set up.

Is he not the last person who should be talking down a Vietnam vet?
quincythomasthedisappointing
Which way?

Yea, much of the concensus in recent years has been that this was fake. No one can find this man, it seems like it was staged.

I remember when this happened.

My father saw him fight in Manila against Joe Frazier. He should've retired after that brutal bout with Smokin' Joe.

Ali was a draft dodger. A man with out a county

What why I never heard of this before?
ClubbedSandwich
Because it's fake. They didn't want to milk it too much or people would've caught on.

This has been debated for decades. The amount of press, how close he was to the location, and his publicist knowing about it prior, ect
UrbanBohemian
Exactly. It’s a very interesting backstory.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Let's say he did it purely for publicity. Unless your suggesting the suicide attempt was a hoax by the vet, Ali still did an awesome thing.
RationalDiscourse
I think that’s his point. He famously didn’t fight in the war & was not liked by many for it. “Saving” a war vet would be a huge boon to him

I know I listened to a podcast about this once, forget the name of it, but it was good

Muhammad Ali was able to talk the Vietnam veteran off the ledge, it's right there in the title.
