    Cut the crap :roll::roll: he was'nt the selfless demigod you make him out to be.

    Great fighter yes but also an arrogant ******* as a man at times.

    It was a good post in many parts but the "Ali who beat Liston was not of earth" is a tad embarrassing. :lol:

    :lol:

    To be fair, all of us write something like that about a fighter at some stage...except for you...maybe you're dead inside? More likely it's because you don't drink in the house :lol:

    Even if my dick was on training wheels, I imagine I'd prefer that over your grumpy quasi-bitter "I can't get my **** through this ****ing thing, it's past prime and no longer under warranty" rhetoric and routine around here. Cutting edge and razor sharp, that's you. :hey

    By the way, bedding 17 year old girls doesn't qualify you as a pedophile, obviously. I don't remember churning out that one out.

    Everyone's acting as if it's some never before heard allegation. No one here's read Holme's ****ing book?

    But, of course, discredit that. He was only at Ali's camps on a daily basis and as close to him as anyone for years on end. By the way, Larry coined the sticking his dick in a snake line.

    But if you need more fuel for this fire.

    Chicago Woman Suing Ali

    An 18-year-old Chicago woman who says she was Muhammad Ali's mistress at age 12 and bore his child at age 14 has filed a lawsuit demanding $3-million from the former heavyweight boxing champion. The woman, identified as Rebecca Jean Holloway, says in the civil suit that Ali was the father of a son she gave birth to in 1977 and that Ali stopped seeing her after the boy, who she named Osmon, was born. "She's beautiful, oh yes, she is," said the woman's attorney, Theodore H. Zimmerman of Chicago. But he declined to give many details of the case, saying that "at this time I would rather not give any interviews or even see any publicity on the matter. The fact that we filed this lawsuit doesn't mean we don't have a great deal of respect for Muhammad Ali," Zimmerman said. "It's a situation where I'm basically preserving the rights of my client. I would hate to see something come out publicly that would blacken his (Ali's) name."


    - wired report dated Apr 25th, 1981, which appeared in many different sources at the time, including the St. Petersburg Times where this is being taken from directly


    One of TWO seperate claims that both went to court against Ali where he stuck he had these harmless ****s. Oh, cue to them having children by him and him booking. :lol:

    Holme's quotes from "Facing Ali".

    ""You don't know Ali like I know Ali. The press didn't know Ali like I knew Ali. And if they did know Ali, they didn't say nothing about what he did and how he did it."

    "Look, I still admire Ali. I just don't admire all of the **** he did. He ain't as great as everybody wants to say he is. He wasn't a saint."

    "I know how he lived. I knew what he did. I seen the people come into camp and leaving camp. I know he walked around with a stiff dick every day. I knew that. He would **** a snake if you hold its head. You don't even have to hold the mother****er's head. Just give him the snake."

    - Just a few quotes from Holmes in 'Facing Ali'

    Got to love the naivety in regards to larger then life figures that some people indulge in.

    You make a comment about Rocky Marciano, American Hero, infallible and heroic, and you're going to be lynched.

    It's completely and totally irrelevant that Marciano's the reason I got into boxing in the first place. Hero worship is overdone and in most cases, unrealistic and about as far away from reality as you can get.

    Then it comes out on these boards that he carried around suitcases of dildos and sex toys like a ****ing weirdo and it becomes a joke thrown around here and there on the board. Shock turns to denial turns to begrudging acceptance, all the while playing off the initial "NOT TRUE" knee-jerk reactions.

    Also, again, on these boards, there were very legitimate claims that Ali used steroids. Unfathomable, of course!

    But of ****ing COURSE this is glossed over while at the very same time certain posters on these forums say Evander Holyfield and other steroid "cheats" should be erased from the record books, asterisks galore. The sport is being "ruined" by it.

    You think Ali ****ing everything with two legs and a vagina, running through a half dozen wives in the process while sleeping with teenagers is okay, fine. You think him hitting his wife over absolutely nothing (Which he's admitted) is okay, great. If his very likely weight loss assisted steroid use is acceptable while every current boxer to so much look at them is ridiculed, great. If you find him nearly calling Joe Frazier a ****** with his gorilla bull****, fantastic.

    Where do YOU want to draw the line at what isn't okay?

    Where do you want to draw that line, and better yet, will some of you ever do it?

    What?? So you're saying Holmes was talking **** about someone he's insanely jealous off and tries to "show" the people how they really shouldn't adore Ali, but love him instead ?? No way, Larry would never do that. :yep





    I respect that Holmes lives a good family life and has his finances sorted out really well, but he's always been a classless ***** when it came to public speaking. There are people saying that the jockstrap comment was just one isolated mistake blown out of proportion, but they couldn't be further away from the truth. He's always been respectless towards other fighters like Louis, Ali, Lennox, Tyson, Foreman etc. Even now that he's well in his 50's he remains bitter; sounding like the kid who was always picked last when making soccer teams at school.

    Really don't know what you're going on about. Most of what you say is generallly accepted on this board, and not really news to anyone.

    Him taking steroids and ****ing minors is closer to speculation, though, which people here just points out. If you think it's as likely that the Ali who met Holmes was roided up as that the Holyfield of the late 90's was... Well, then I really don't know what to say to you.

    Every tale of these 'bad men' seems to involve someone banging a lot of chicks- "Dempsey broke virgins in et al". Obviously this is a sore point with you as your mates are consistenly scoring while your Charlie Magri mush walks home alone in the pissing rain at 2.00am . Ok, a woman says Ali is the father of her child? What happened next? If Ali was knowingly having sex with a 12-year old then of course it would change my opinion of him.


    Anyone who uses a bitter old ******* like Larry Holmes as his source needs to be laughed out of the place like you usually are. "Haven't you read Holmes book?" Well, yes and, as is his wont, he spends most of putting down everyone at every opportunity. Just like his BBC TV interview last year, "Oh and George Foreman isn't a nice guy...". The reporter cut him off "...Larry Holmes thank you". :lol:

    A superstar shagging a truckload of women is something most of us can forgive- and envy. Get your dick sucked once in while, it may change your perception. He called Frazier a gorilla, Joe watched his son get destroyed by Tyson and I said "I was smilin' watching this fight". I know what receiving end i'd rather be on. But Ali had a lot of sex and we all know sex is evil. :)

    Honestly if this under-age girl thing isn't true you don;'t have much to go on and will embarrass yourself even further (if such a thing is possible). You actually think all the men on here don't think 90% of all rock stars (and celebs on the scale of Ali) don't get up to all this whenever they can? Jesus, talk about a sheltered life. Have you been brought up in a Nunnery or something? :huh

    Sounds like Ali had a multitude of choices when it came to planting that Larry Holmes described "stiff dick". Maybe Larry missed out here too :hey

    The other thing that worries me

    Ummmmm how exactly did Larry know THAT?

    Was he hitting the bag and sneaking looks at Ali's supposedly bulging crotch or what?!?!?!

    :lol:
