    Yeah, he says it pretty loud. I don't think it means anything one way or the other. Were you Joe or Muhammad?

    It's: "sit down, Joe" "sit down quick, Joe"

    I think Frazer was very pissed at Mohammed Ali, for sure. But they were both good boxers.

    Either or. I once used it to successfully prevent a major kick-off with a mate who'd have too many beers: "sid-down steve, sid-down steve, quick steve". Followed by the wrestle and laughs. Mood changed. Ali and Joe can always help out. :good

    Yes, we always said "quick" but were never quite sure.

    True. The Pet Shop Boys and Soft Cell were in town that night, we should have given them a shout.

    I think it was real, Joe was pissed and Ali was a bit scared. So when Joe wasn't paying attention he grabbed him and held on until it was broken up.

    That was as real as it gets. Frazier realized the hospital remark was a mistake, but Ali was genuinely angry about it and just wouldn't let it go... kept calling Frazier stupid. He didn't expect him to stand up and confront him, but when it happened he didn't back down and wrestled him.

    Incidentally, that was more entertaining than their entire second fight that same year.
