I don’t know though if Joe Martin was still boxing when Muhammad Ali was boxing.

  7. Obstacles • Muhammad Ali had to overcome segregation. • Muhammad Ali had to but refused the draft to the Vietnam war. So he was stripped of his boxing title and had to serve 3 years out of the ring. • Segregation didn’t affect Muhammad Ali as much as others but it still made him mad.
