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 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
Tuesday ~ August 26, 1975
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.

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.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Are You Aware
That the Muhammad Ali Sales and Marketing Team were promoting the sale
of these blue Tee-Shirts.
From August 1975, thru 1980.
Yea, that Muhammad Ali was 'some-kind-of-guy'.

Bullshit!!! Joe himself told us that Ali did apologize for what he did to him. Joe understood most of it was purely hype but the thing that bothered him most was his kids being teased saying their Daddy was a Gorilla. Ali had silly names for every one of his opponents The Mummy, The Rabbit, The Washerwoman etc it was part of Ali's charisma.. He himself was called The Louisville Lip. Watch Facing Ali not one of Ali's opponents had ill feelings the all respected him
Joe forgave him its time you haters did too You condemn Ali for things he said now read what you've said about a very sick man Don't be hypocritical
