    He was Ellis manager as well as trainer.

    So stood to make more money being in his corner apparently.

    That was a different link you put up @Manos de Piedra

    Still interesting.

    I thought all the old great fighters, before Muhammid Ali, trained at Big Bear, I did not realise Ali bought a property at Big Bear and that other fighters followed.

    I did not realise it was Ali that wrote on the rocks the great heavyweight fighters names on them such as Johnson, Rocky and Louis.

    It wasn't mate - it was his dad that painted all the names on the rocks. Cassius Snr was a reasonably gifted artist and he painted them all.
    If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?

    I did not mean Ali personally painted the rocks, just that he was the first to go to big bear and the other boxers followed and set their training camps there.

    When I originally saw the names on the rocks I thought that maybe Johnso , Rocky and Louis trained there.
