  • Make his reach 80"
  • Change "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong" to "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Congs"
  • Fix issues from GA review:
    • It's poorly sourced for it's length, only 16 citations in a article that is about 50 KB in length.
  • Explain why Ali was stripped of his title in 1964, this is currently mentioned in the list at the end without any reason being given
  • Add the final decision of the Supreme Court on Ali's refusing to serve in the military. Several court decisions are mentioned but the final conclusion is missing completely!
  • Properly format all references.
  • Update Antonio Inoki from being a "kickboxer" to a "catch wrestler" - he was trained by Karl Gotch in shoot style wrestling.
  • Mention the fact that Ali called Frazier an "Uncle Tom" and "a dumb gorilla," both of which were widely reported in the press at the time.
  • Spelling - "In retirement" section - "and met with Saddam Hussein in an attempt to negotiate the release of American hostages."
  • In the lead-up: change "These personality quips and idioms" to "These personality quirks and idiosyncracies."
  • In the statistics change "Real Name" to "Birth Name"
  • In the beginning it mentions Muhammad Ali's "personality quips and idioms" - this is a misuse of both quip and idiom. I assume the author meant to write Ali's "personality [quirks] and [idiosyncracies]".
  • Tomorrow's Champions was hosted by Ed Kallay. I think Martin produced the program. Older47 (talk) 22:28, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • His last wife is/was Yolanda (Williams)Ali.
