Was it "shameful" and "disgraceful" when Ali held opponenets?

No, it wasn't. It was his style.

 

:| Waaaaaa :| waaaaa :| Stop criticising my hero :| waaaaa

 

let me think

It was pretty ****ing boring and **** when ali held and tugged on frazier's neck 149 times in 12 rounds of their 1973 rematch!!! :tired:tired:tired

 

Classic Klitschko fans. Making ****ing ridiculous comparisons to defend their hero from valid criticism.

Who gives a **** what Ali or anyone else did. It's a boxing forum, Wlad was in a boxing match on Saturday night, he held a lot. People are going to talk about it. Stop being such a *****. If you're a world champ your performances are under scrutiny and people will analyse your performance. Unless you're the human manifestation of Wladimir Klitschkos feelings, don't need to start a thread crying about it every time people criticise or comment on him.

****ing Klittards, pfffft

 

Simple question. Would you rather watch an Ali highlight reel or a Wlad highlight reel? Case closed.

 

Would watch both. /case

 

M'fker

 

There was no ESB at that time, so this thread is invalid (as per ESB standard)

 

E-****ing-xactly

 

When Ali fought George Foreman and Joe Frazier? No.

When Wald fought Mormeck and Byrd? Yes.

 

I watched the Joe Frazier fight (2nd) and he held him all the time. The ref's fault in my opinion, his responsibility to do something about it. The 3rd fight was a different story and he only won because the ref stopped the fight.

Interesting info - did you know Joe Frazier could not see out of his left eye for 10 years while he fought? So Ali fought him 3 times when Joe Frazier only had vision in one eye. I believe Joe Frazier is the "greatest."

 

How about Lewis holding on Tyson's corpse?
