    I always noticed that

    Chavalo had a style kind of like the olympic style Frazier before Futch and Durham implemented the head movement into his game

    None of that 'trash talking' backfired, it was intended for the media.

    Smokin Joe was comfortable with himself, and was confident that
    he would win, he didn't need any other motivation.

    Muhammad Ali, on the other hand had to motivate himself through
    his own talking. This was Joe Frazier he was fighting.
