It's a shame that his death is now being slightly overlooked due to more recent events. Although kind of fitting considering the high point of his career was a muslim being unexpectedly floored.

Technically Mohammad Ali was still Cassisus Clay, and not therefore a Muslim when he was floored by Henry. Aside from that small fact the joke may have worked.
