Bonavena made fun of him real nice, look how Ali got mad and embarrassed for his chicken act, dodging the draft This content is protected
Agree...since when did it become mandatory to jump weight classes? If your body is ideally suited for a weight and your comfortable at that weight then theres no reason to fight out of it especially if it doesn't feel right physically. Stupid logic
This is a great list RC! I must admit I have a soft spot for Bowe for some reason. Now Rock Newman was a despicable racist attention seeker who I believe ripped Bowe off much in the same manner Butch Lewis did to Spinks.
So Lewis really did Michael in. Maybe Greg Page knew something after all. And that the Lewis-Spinks relationship had more to it than thought.
Sugar Ray Robinson - dreadful person but great fighter Jake Lamotta - wife beater but tough boxer Mike Tyson - Man child but exciting in early days Gerald McClellan and Roy Jones - Don't like person who use animals killing each other as sport James J Jeffries and all who drew colour line John L Sullivan - Racist, drunken braggart Muhammad Ali - Talked too much
According to a book I just read. Spinks and Lewis were like brothers and it wasnt until Lewis died did Michael know that Lewis spent millions of his money.
When Malcom X was assassinated by the Nation. On the same night Ali's apartment in Chicago caught fire. Just his apartment. No one else in the building. He had been friends with Malcom at one point like brothers. He had to disown him. It was a warning though.
Because you need a hero? Ali was a good guy who got caught up with a hate group. The Easter Bunny is just a myth too. Oh sorry I didn't mean to upset you. You and many fans are perhaps brainwashed. So sad.
He cared about staying alive and keeping his family safe. What happened at Kareem Abdul Jabbar's house?
Ali also did women wrong and really, really disrespected Joe Frazier. Joe should have f****d him up on national tv.
Robert, it feels real good to make lists and vent like this sometimes. I may have listed all those I dislike....if anything, I came pretty close. I know a lot of fans like to dump on two heroes of mine,...SRR and Monzon, but not me.
