[@tonythenonja]

To everyone objecting to his use of “Cassius Clay”, Muhammad Ali announced his new name on March 6, 1964. This move takes place BEFORE that. Thank you Wikipedia!!!!

[@uraharasshop3547]

I think they should mention that in the video tbf

[@mizanulhoque9657]

Poor excuse as this isn't the Movie and therefore Muhammad Ali's name should be respected.

[@dondragmer2412]

@@mizanulhoque9657 Good excuse, or rather, reason, as this video is in reference to the workout he used in preparation for his role as Ali when he was still Clay. It does not mean any disrespect at all. But maybe he means respect to his birth name, which is parents named him and he went by until he disavowed it in 1964.

[@mizanulhoque9657]

@@dondragmer2412 I think your missing the point. There is no problem if Muhammad Ali is referred to as Clashe Clay "throughout the movie" as that was his name (FACT) during that period, however as this is NOT the Movie and Muhammad Ali clearly stated that he no longer wishes to be referred to by his previous name then it is disrespectful to ignore his wishes.

I think its because he is playing Ali when he was still known as Cassius right before he changed his name.

When Muhammad Ali came to Canada to fight he actually trained at my boxing gym. Before Covid 19 George Chuvalo would visit my boxing gym occasionally because he knew our coaches. Sucks our gym is closed but I might just have to buy my own boxing bag.

Muhammad Ali and his team held a press conference in 1967 to explain the significance of his decision to change his name, he believed the name Muhammad Ali meant most high and praiseworthy, but Clay meant dirt with no ingredients given by a white slave master and how it reminded him of his National and Ethnic Identity,.....and this guy here is just being disrespectful calling him Cassius by disregarding all of that history

[@realtalk6195]

The movie takes place almost a month before he changed his name to Ali! Between the Sonny Liston fight on February 25, 1964 and adopting the name Muhammad Ali on March 6, 1964, he adopted the name Cassius X. The movie shows him taking that second name before he became Ali.
