    Is 'whinging' some kind of British slang?

    He said it in an interview with David West which West then incorporated into his book ,"The Mammoth Book Of Muhammad Ali". Whether you agree with Quarry's opinion is up to you, but by insulting me you just make yourself look like a Knob.

    Arthur Mercante Sr said that Frazier was the cleanest swarming type of fighter he ever saw.

    Jerry was probably ****ed that he tried to fight Frazier head to head and got beaten to a bloody pulp.

    I wouldn't has Frazier was notorious when it came to fouling his opponents, but I have seen him throw punches to the hips and even appeared to hit his fighter in the thigh from time to time. I've also seen him lead with his head before, I can actually remember in instance in the first fight with Jerry Quarry he lead his head.

    Ali had badly swollen hip joints after FOTC,I don't condemn Frazier for that ,the line across the hips is the belt line and in a 15 rds fight some shots are going to go astray, especially given the height difference between them.

    Yeah. We often do that with our own language, which is English.

    Which is why I wrote at the beginning Joe Frazier it seems to me was the type that would both give and take and just get on with it. I think it does Quarry no favours complaining after the events tbh.

    I call bull**** on Jerry (posthumously of course)...Patterson was one of the cleanest, most sportsmanlike fighters ever. Complete bull**** here....and Brit slang or no, it's "whine", not "whinge". I don't buy "whinge".

    It's whinge and we invented the language, that's why its called the English Language not the American Language, you just *******ized it as in color for colour, honor for honour etc.

    Ture.

    We are talking about Quarry here, and he had some issues mentally speaking. If Quarry said this after his ring career was over, I would not put any stock in it.

    Oh the irony. Fools whinging about English slang, when Murican's have done nothing but b*****ise our language for centuries.

    You couldn't make it up. And people criticise me for believing they are too stupid to even know they are stupid.
