Out and out racism and at the very least cruelty.

Mean cruelty.

This coming from a "highly religious" man who "really supported his people".

I guess berating poor Joe for years like this was "supporting" his people.

Disgusting show of willful and persistent cruelty to a decent, humble ATG Joe Frazier.

Karma is a bitch, huh?

Only Mitch Blood Green was a bigger scumbag.

If I had to sit down to dinner with all time great boxer I would love to have dinner with Jersey Joe Walcott or Sonny Liston or Archie Moore or Joe Lewis or Rocky Marciano. The last motormouth windbag show off know it all ghetto philosopher that I would want to sit down and ENDURE a dinner with would be Muhammad the big mouth Ali.

The young Ali would be one of the first people I would love to talk over a dinner table with. Ali was vibrant and entertaining.

Yea, and so was Adolf Hitler.

Archie Moore is the one I would choose. A fighter who was around for a long time, smart as a whip, and not one to exaggerate. One of my boyhood heroes, too.

The thing with Ali was that he wasn't too bright & he got over excited too easily; he was virtually like a child when he was in pre-fight mode.

He said some terrible things to Smokin' Joe, but I don't believe the meant those things truly.

Deep down, Ali had great respect for Joe because he knew that Joe was always going to give him a hard time.

[brocktonblockbust]

Stupid people mistakenly believe that Muhammad Ali was some kind of a hero and a spokesman for black people's rights. When in fact all he did was tear down his opponents especially the black ones with cruel and racist remarks towards blacks. The examples with Joe Frazier are just the tip of the iceberg. What kind of a person is this.??

What color did he think he himself was?

Ah, it was no big deal, Ali never meant to hurt anyone. It was just one black man trying to help out another black man.
I really have a lot of respect for Ali, he was a good man through and through. You can tell he was a very respectful person from the way he spoke about other black fighters! Right?

You are what you say, and I have a lot of disrespect for Muhammad Ali.

[brocktonblockbust]

He thought it was cool to keep changing what he said from one year to another. And nobody would remember his track record. You cant say the white man is the devil in '66, then say some white men are the devil in '69, then say you were wrong and that there are red devils, green devils, black devils, etc., in '71, then say you champion black rights in then turn around aND CALL fellow blacks monkeys, gorillas, ignorant, uneducated, backwards, Uncle Tom, etc., from year to year HE KEPT GETTING IT WRONG, yet the following year he would get something else wrong, showing no remorse, and expecting people to keep kissing his ass, expecting people to forgive each and every one of his insults, remarks, etc.

now he is old, sick and mute, and if it werent for that, he might get alot less sympathy

[TitoFan]

I'm sure all this hate keeps Ali up at night.

I think Ali has moved on maybe others should too.
