A chronological consideration of the countless voices evaluating the life of Muhammad Ali reveals a troubling parallel between institutional noise and authorial silence. The more Ali's verbal and physical abilities deteriorated under Parkinson's disease, the more eager financially interested parties became in speaking on his behalf. Thus narrativized for nearly five decades, the name "Ali" has become disarmed and commonplace. In reaction to this cacophony of biography, I assert a need to restore the international and postcolonial significance back into the construction of Ali's past through a rigorous study of the boxing ring and its histories. This thesis begins by situating the sport of boxing as a performance tradition that cultivates a uniquely combative and improvisational form of intelligence, or what I call a "pugilistic ontology". Though erstwhile scholarship presents Ali as an unprecedently talented pugilist and vernacular voice of black American resistance, this thesis contextualizes Ali by framing his quick pugilistic wit as the inevitable product of professional boxing's selective and unforgiving system of competition. Moving from classical antiquity into the 20th century, I construct a chronotopic model of the American boxing ring as a socially and historically contingent space where hegemonic narratives of the racialized body are made vulnerable to pugilistic critique. By allying with the Nation of Islam and condemning U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War despite threats of government intervention, Ali calls into question the subjectifying power of the state and renegotiates the limitations of what minoritarian people can and cannot achieve within a white supremacist America.
