boxingforlife Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Re: David Haye starts petition to get Britain to give Ali a Knighthood Honoring Muhammad Ali this way does really worth it. Like David Haye mentioned, Ali would be the first Muslim Knight. Haye knows about this feeling after he was honored with a doctorate six years ago. I would second the former heavyweight champion on this petition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Re: David Haye starts petition to get Britain to give Ali a Knighthood Do they do Honorary Knighthood's? If they do, then would welcome one for Muhammad Ali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Re: David Haye starts petition to get Britain to give Ali a Knighthood Haye wants to petition himself to get an active career again. As brilliant as Ali was - and I love him to bits, one of my all time faves - he has done absolutely fuck all to deserve a knighthood in this country. A couple of brief whistle stop tours around a few London ghettos isn't knighthood material. Although he should have got a bafta for his appearances on the Michael Parkinson show.

Sammy Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Re: David Haye starts petition to get Britain to give Ali a Knighthood It doesn't have to get to that, I think Britain should have done that a long time ago, "the world's most famous" that alone is enough to qualify him. Then he's all round contribution to the sport, one of the greatest sport men ever, a legend, a genius... Knighthood should've been given since.

ama Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Re: David Haye starts petition to get Britain to give Ali a Knighthood I like Haye - but you're going above your station with this. Just stick to boxing, winning and becoming champion.I think that's what's best for career, not seeking attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Re: David Haye starts petition to get Britain to give Ali a Knighthood David Haye wants attention for David Haye Even if he wants attention, it's a Job well done for him to pick up such petition, I see no reason the British aren't giving Ali an honorary knighthood, he's worth even more, he is a legend & was a great fighter. And considering all what he has done even on great Britain's soil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right pal, I think it's fair enough if he's given, it'll help and motivate young boxers, Britain aren't loosing anything by doing the just. He's worth just that, even more. I call it an incentive, I don't really see it as an award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haye is doing a great job by fighting/standing for a brother, it's a Job welldone. I don't seem to understand why he is a moron, or probably there is a reason best known to you.
