Thrilla In Manila: 40 years on from sanctioned manslaughter in boxing

Interesting Thought

In the bout before "The Thrilla In Manila"

Muhammad Ali couldn't do a thing with Joe Bugner.

Yea he won, but he 'stunk out the joint'.

A lot of your threads and posts stink out the entire forum Bill. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

You know, Green Beans do emit a Foul Odor as well.

They are an 'ugly vegetable' too

Muhammad Ali was a very big man. Taller than most people realize. Bigger arms and legs than most people realize. He really was a huge guy.

Smokin' Joe Frazier

Really didn't train all that hard for this bout.

He started his Training Camp on August 27, 1975 at Cloverlay Gym in Philadelphia.

Joe was close to 230 lbs., and had not fought since March 2nd against Jimmy Ellis in
Australia.

Basically, it was a 5-Week 'Prep-Cycle', which was nothing special.

Rubbish! Joe pushed himself like he always did. The only limitations was his age and boxing mileage. All witnesses said he trained very hard.

Nah. You're smoking in the shower again.

Look it up, Joe Frazier didn't start training until August 27, 1975.

And he used 'old-man' George 'Scrap Iron' Johnson as a sparring-partner.
