    Bonavena was not a good trash talker.

    Ali seemed at least a bit irked by him, it didn't affect him in the ring regardless but he wasn't as comfortable as he normally would've been engaging in a verbal back and forth with Bonavena.

    You can't compare trash talk from two different eras, Muhammad Ali's trash talk sounds like a compliment in today's more vulgar trash talk. Although one similarity is that in both eras Fury and Ali are surrounded by boxers who take themselves too seriously and don't understand their role to entertain

    The question has not been asked since boxers nicknamed other boxers (trash talk), than since when have boxing fans called champions that?
    So I didn't get an answer to the question I asked, and almost everyone answered the question I didn't ask.

    If Ali called fury a gorilla, Fury would take is as a compliment.

    He did almost decapitate Wlad for calling him a clown though.

    Please send a clip of Fury landing even the slightest damaging blow in that awful fight. Otherwise
    What a joke. Please show us a clip of even one damaging punch being landed by Fury in that awful snorefest. One of the worst heavyweight titlefights in history. If not THE WORST.

    Fury hurt him a few times and Wlad was holding for dear life for most of the fight. The only time he didn't try to clinch was his headbutt attempt in round 11.

    Fury hurt him at the end of round 11 and then the ref of course the ref jumped in to save Wlad who was stumbling around like a buffoon turning his back and of course took a point off Fury.

    He also KO'd Wlad in a Sauna.

    I love Ali's reaction to Len Harvey stating he thinks he would have beat Ali.

    Frazier was mostly gorilla because they were going to fight in Manilla. Not a lot rhymes with Manilla.

    Then why did Ali bring out that little toy black gorilla and taunt Frazier with it, saying Frazier looked like the gorilla?

    There were definite racial overtones, and major black celebrities, as well as Frazier himself, have noted it. Don't be in denial about something that is obvious. Ali was often racist to black, white, and Asian people.
