Just read your piece in the Independent and it is refreshing to see an article that isn't revisionist sugar-coated drivel like a lot of other stuff around this week. A lot of this has depicted Ali as a lovable sporting gent who only engaged in 'amiable banter' for promotion's sake. As much as I admired his bravery in the ring a lot of his antics were highly distasteful, especially the way he treated Frazier.
