No, he should not be awarded an honorary knighthood, and nor should any sportsman - British or not - unless they've done something else remarkable.
In fact, I think we should get rid of the whole system. I read Naomi's link, and the list of rules of what foreign honorary Knights and dames may call themselves, and in what circumstances, is laughable. It's like reading something from the Dark Ages.

Foreigners can be knighted - the American secretary of state during the falklands got one - they have their own rules about accepting foreign honours.
Nelson who was neither a knight nor an american wore the sultan's whatever ( crescent with girlies-slave oakleaves ) without the permission of his sovereign - dear dear but was known to be vane as well as a battle winner.
now controlled by statute ( wear foreign honours without permission and you DIE ! Act )
and SO......Mohd Ali couild join the long line of vegetables we are currently giving honours to
ter daaah ! [ he is a punchie by the way - Parkinsons is a cover story - and his advice was "Marmz dont let your kids into the ring."

Geldof got one for trying to save a continent from starving to death
As far as I am aware (and my knowledge is limited to say the least) Mr Ali was a racist who beat people unconscious for a living and seemed to glory in it
So you could say I am not a fan and would be more inclined to offer a prison sentence than a knighthood

I think Ric.ror has a point; he was an unconscionable racist, he didn't believe in integration, he said 'when I look around I see the bluebirds hang out with only bluebirds, and the same goes for the blackbirds too' (or words to that effect)
Were he 100% compos mentis I think he would tell them where to stuff their gong.
