August 26, 1975 ~ 'Press Conference' ~ Ali Tries To Make Gorilla Out Of Joe Frazier

[brocktonblockbust]

This scumbag deliberately tortured Ernie Terrell and Floyd Patterson in the ring when he could have knocked both of those guys out six or seven or eight rounds earlier in the fight. He deliberately string them along and pulled back on his punches to inflict the maximum amount of torture and to allow the fighter to continue going without actually stopping the fighter. This is completely unsportsmanlike and when you add to the fact that people who sat in the first row and people who are near the microphone were appalled and disgusted by ali's use of the N word 2 Floyd Patterson and Ernie Terrell as well as to Joe Frazier George Foreman Ken Norton and Larry Holmes who all said that all these curses and his rampant and constant use of the N word and the F word was so shocking that it was disgusting in there at times to be in with a person shouting those obscenities during the fight.

I hate him too. Joe Frazier's children were bullied for 3 years in school because Ali kept accusing Joe of being an Uncle Tom. In '72 Frazier had asked him to stop for the safety of his kids but Ali just continued with the uncle tom stuff. It was NOT to sell fights.

Frazier lent Ali shitload of money in 1970 AND helped him reinstate his boxing license.

Ali thanked him by publicly calling him "a flat-nosed ignorant Negro" then on TV "a flat-nosed pug".

Later that same month with Howard Cosell he mocked Joe Frazier's ears and nose and made fun of him and said his ears were like a deformity because they were not even and one was hanging lower than the other one.

I feel EXACTLY the same.

Fuck 'em.

Somebody give that Parkinson's patient some dopamine or somethin'!

(" somebody give that old Negro a pension or something"

-- Muhammad Ali about Archie Moore before their fight)

If it was fair game then and awfully funny then it sure is now too!

We're gonna name Muhammad Ali "The Shaker"--
No I got a better one how about "The Mumbler".

Yeah that's it: the Mumbler in the Jungler!

Ali is the greatest heavyweight ever and he gave us some of the greatest fights and moments in history.

All your hate will never take that away.

I thoroughly enjoyed the above statement.

I do not doubt for one minute that he certainly gave us some of the greatest fights and moments in the ring in the history of the sport of boxing. For that I appreciate him. For me I think his biggest win was over George Foreman. I believe he should have retired after that fight. That would have been an amazing retirement the world would remember him with only one loss and more importantly he still had all his faculties at that time

Four Seasons Restaurant ~ New York City, New York

~ Press Conference ~

Smokin' Joe Frazier was the first to arrive, and was polite and cordial to the Press Corps and News Media.

Joe discussed his general plans for pre-fight Training during a 30-Minute question and answer session.

Then the {pre-staged} entrance.

It was all set up, that Muhammad Ali would arrive with his 'entourage' and disrupt the Press Interview
with a 'ranting tirade' aimed at Smokin' Joe.

On Cue >

There was a loud rumbling of noise at the Door Entrance of the 'Four Seasons', an up-scale and fancy
mid-town Restaurant for the 'high-enders'.

Yes, it was the World's Heavyweight Champion - Muhammad Ali, with his 'gangling mob', an entourage
of '15' hangers-on, plusTrainer - Angelo Dundee and 'The Head Cheerleader Clown' - Drew 'Bundini' Brown.

The muffled sound at the Door Entrance grew louder and louder, until it couldn't possibly be, wait a mistake >

Muhammad Ali entered the Press Room with the 'Clown Posse'.

The Champion walked into the Room with a sudden boisterous intrusion.

Smokin' Joe Frazier {acted surprised}, but he knew that the game {event} was pre-staged, so he played along.

Muhammad came barreling in by ranting-and-raving.

But the insiders knew it was 'rigged' before-hand.

It was a staged publicity event.

Joe Frazier was one that didn't go for 'Lunch Charades', but he said that he would play along, to make the
'show' look good.

There could be some argument about Ali being the greatest, he was definitely one of the best. I have no desire to change anything Ali did in or out of the ring. I want to remember all of it! It keeps my blood flowing. Know what I mean?

Ali behaved like an ass for his behaviour and comments to Joe. Ali admitted it, apologised and wished he never did it.

Get over it and remember the fights.

Muhammad Ali 'never' apologized for anything.

It was 'half-hearted' gesture at best from a 'Certified Sell-Out'.
