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'.

So what? Joe could have sold T shirts about Ali's infidelity.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
True, but the point is, HE DIDN'T. Because Smokin' Joe was a Class Act, something scumbag Ali could never come close to being. Joe was also a faithful family man, while Ali whored around the world acting like a devout Muslim and fucking everything that moved (and some things that DIDN'T move).
Cheated on HIS wife/WIVES incessantly. What an Uncle Tom, trying to copy Elvis Presley. bwAAAAAHAHAHA

Yes, Ali was a great fighter and he may have been one of the first to create a brand the way he did. Yes, he said some dirty stuff to sell tickets but he showed boxers how to make the fight build up profitable. It's a shame Ali is in the state he is today, it would be great to hear him talk on all that stuff he did back then. It was easy to get caught up in the racial bs in the US in the 70's. I truly dislike what Ali did to Joe. Had Joe had People in his camp who were more adept at counter punching the Ali nonsense it would have been interesting. What I truly disliked reading about Ali is how he was prone to using his thumb on opponents eyes. That and some other tactics rather bothered me as I always have Ali on a pedestal. Still, the man is ONE of the all time greats, I don't subscribe to the greatest of all time but certainly give Ali his due. God, it really hurt me to watch that Spinks fight, I know Ali got a good deal of money but look at his face in the ring prior to the fight, I truly believe Ali was already ill before that fight and that just put the icing on the cake. That fight should have been stopped very early. It was one of the saddest fights I have ever seen.

In that doc we talked about called facing Ali Foreman said Frazier called him saying " George, Ali keeps calling me an uncle Tom, I don't want people thinking I'm peeping in other people's windows, I'm not a pervert." Frazier thought an uncle Tom was a peeping Tom. Kind of classic, shows how little Frazier grasped all the bs Ali was doing.
Brian Gumble, a great sports writer, of African descent, also wrote an article called Joe Frazier, the white fighter in a Blackman body. He now regrets he ever wrote it but says it was easy to get caught up in that stuff back then.
