It's hard to think of him as a bad person. He really stuck with his beliefs. He might seem a little inconsistent as his beliefs changed, but I admire that he really held on.

Also the most cocky boxer of all time

Floyd Mayweather holds that title.

Good point

He may have been loyal to his beliefs, but his beliefs were and are bad. Loyalty is something to be admired, but it is also dangerous to be loyal to a cruel entity.

Despite the fact that he subscribed to a radical group, he himself never engaged in any radical activity which harmed anyone. While all forms of radicalism should be battled, his view on the Vietnam war and resistance to the draft is commendable, especially considering he gave up 3 years of his prime to stand by his beliefs.
