"Look up his history. Musashi is the hero of Japan, yet he murdered innocent men, women and children for money. He was a 'stone killer' (assassin) They despised him when he was alive and canonised him when he was dead. Mark my words, that's what they'll do to me"

Searching for Count Dante | Home
a film by Floyd Webb
In October, 1966, Bobby Seale and Huey Newton write the first draft of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (BPP) 10 - Point Program. On Sunday, Nov. 13,Count Dante hosted an event in which he advertised issuing a challenge to Muhammad Ali. The VC were attacking Saigon with rockets launched from bamboo tripods and it was on globally, kind of like 2005.
The flier announcing the challenge is out there. I hope to obtain one soon. On Friday, Nov 19, 2005 I went down to Louisville, KY to the opening of the Muhammad Ali Center to see if I could get the truth about this claim. I did not even try to bother Ali himself. But I did ask his two constant companions, Howard Bingham and Angelo Dundee .
Hear for youself what he says below in the quicktime movie.
