1967. Muhammad Ali stood before military officials.
"Cassius Clay, step forward for Vietnam induction."
Ali didn't move.
"My name is Muhammad Ali. And I ain't going to no war."
"No Viet Cong ever called me n****r."
That moment cost him everything:
3.5 years banned from boxing (age 25-29, prime years)
Championship title stripped
$10 million lost income
Faced 5 years prison
Media called him "traitor"
But Ali never quit.
1964: Changed name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali
1967: Refused Vietnam War, lost everything
1970: Came back, fought again
1974: "Rumble in the Jungle" - beat George Foreman, champion again
1975: "Thrilla in Manila" - legendary Frazier fight
1996: Parkinson's disease, lit Olympic torch - world cried
From poor Louisville kid to "The Greatest of All Time."
But not just for boxing.
For standing up when everyone said sit down.
This is his full story - the one they don't teach in schools.

⚠️ COMPLEX TRUTHS:
Ali abandoned Malcolm X before assassination (regretted forever)
Unfaithful to wives, family life chaotic
Nation of Islam phase was racially divisive (later converted to Sunni Islam)
Kept fighting too long for money (caused Parkinson's damage)
Generosity + bad investments = lost fortune
Ali wasn't perfect. But he was real.
