Nobody will remember him.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fair point to bring up that Ali was largely reviled for his actions. He also had to face real consequences for his actions. Ali didn't just say things. He went to prison. He stood on his convictions knowing he would go to prison. He did that at the height of a very successful career, and was willing to sacrifice it. THAT is why he's remembered differently now.

Ali was convicted and sentenced to 5 years in prison but never spent a day inside while his conviction was in the appeal process.
