Shame MaxPower isn't around anymore hmm? :P

I can understand why Frazier would hold that kind of a grudge though, Ali called him an "Uncle Tom" essentially just for not being a clown, or flamboyantly anti white, and that probably did shape the way people viewed his character as a champion. As if Frazier had it easier than Ali in any way shape or form coming up, that must have really stung.
