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

[Master]

So what? Joe could have sold T shirts about Ali's infidelity.

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

In that ring he was great do not forget that

[Bill Paxtom]

Look at this Mister Master.

Isn't it 'Fucking Hilarious'.

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.

spinks fight was sad, but this here is worse:

[walrus]

Yup. Sad stuff Brock, look at that lack of speed. Those fights did more damage to Ali than the brutality of Foreman and Frazier etc. That's my opinion but he was getting whacked so much and so hard a seriously can't watch those fights. I wish Ali had gone out at the top like he said he would by money and fame are enticing as Miles shows us often here. By the way Brock, look up Barclays Center in NYC and see what fights are coming up.

Brock you dummy, I meant see if they have any boxing events coming up at the Barclays center. I wouldn't want to go down for craft beer. They put on a lot of good fights there

It must gnaw at the pit of one's stomach to hate someone who's so beloved and famous.
