    In the history of boxing, has there ever been so much bad blood between two fighters that at the end of they're bout they don't show a sign of respect? We've seen guys hugging, pats on the back, kissing etc, but has anyone had so much hatred that they don't even show respect for they're opponent?

    Well, there was the James Butler incident where he went over and hit an unsuspecting Richard Grant in the corner after the fight was over. He got arrested and charged with assault for it. And he did it at some sort of policeman appreciation night card.

    And after the 3rd Barrera Morales fight when Barrera went over to shake Morales' hand, Morales ignored him.

    This were some cold ass mother****ers.
    None of that bull**** publicity that most fighters do to promote their fights.
    Mayweather reminds me of this. He acts all big and bad and at the end of the fight he goes an apologizes.

  8. Yeah I watched that documentary the other day. Amazing.

    If I remember rightly, before the first fight, Ali said if he lost he would get on his hands and knees and call Frazier the greatest. Ali lost and he completely blanked Frazier. Weak. After watching the documentary (although admittedly biased) I lost all respect for Ali.
