I just watched HBOs Thrilla in Manilla

:rofl

ignorant ****

draft dodgers dont show up for the swearing in. they simply run and hide , sometimes to another country. thats was "dodging" is, trying to avoid something. Ali showed up to his Military swearing in, said he opposed the war, and took the legal steps to face opposing the war, such as a court of law where he was found innocent. had he been found guilty he would have been taken to jail that day.
so take that draft dodging **** somewhere else, you are clearly talking out of your ass :-nono:deal

 

Yeah i like ALI but the stuff he said was non sense he didnt understand the working class black people like he said nut frazier did.

and he caused frazier son to get beat up everyday.

 

It's a gut wrenching documentary, for sure. I've always been a Frazier guy, blue collar background, hardworking. It sucks that he wasn't able to win the last one and I'm sure it hurt deeply. But at some point life needs to move on.

Yes, Ali was a puppet and made the boxing match into a personal fight. His behavior was inexcusable. I'm glad he apologized to Marvin, but he owed Joe a face to face apology.

 

yeah he was puppett

 

That's why Ali would never be able to beat a prime Youn...-John Ruiz
The quiet man never let an opponent come under his skin, he would always do his best and Ali would probably start farting when he realizes his trashtalking had no effect and he would explode

 

:good

love these stories, it's like a soap opera to me

 

Look Ali is the greatest Boxer of all time, EVERYTHING about him the ring was class.



Outside of it he was a piece of ****....

 

Not draft dodger just a coward, he swore, then backed out, its worse actually then just dodging.

 

Langford, Greb, SRR, Fitzsimmons, Valuev, Ezzard Charles, Armstrong are all above him.
Duran, Benny and a few others have a shout to be above him.

 

This is a great book if you love boxing this is a must read.

 

I thought the same thing, just shows us how much of themselves they put into that ring.
