Just finished watching "Facing Ali"

there was more than verbal that resulted from Ali's ugly taunts and baiting.

Frazier's kids were bullied because of it, his family also had death threats before their 1st fight as well.

 

Gimme a break.

You think that had to do with Ali's malicious-yes-but-just jokes? Not anything to do with Elijah Muhammad of course

Fraziers kids were bullied because of it? Sounds like a great reason to get em into boxing.


Fraziers just a sensitive dude and thats fine but that doesn't mean that Ali's words should be more exaggerrated to be something worse then they were

 

How did Holmes act,did he talk like an ass or was he ok in this one....he always has to go on about himself in most of his interviews?

 

Holmes was classy as was everyone.

 

Except for Leon Spinks lol

 

Do you think its easy for a black man to shrug off being called a uncle Tom by another black man?

C'mon man Ali, stepped over the line so much that Fraizer was willing to walk through anything to get to Ali. Then again other people will react differently I suppose.

There was something between the two of them that never existed with Ali and other opponents, a different kind of meanness.

 

where can i get this?

 

watch it free online, not gonna link you though cus I don't feel like being banned

 

He also said/wrote these things about Frazier, which you don't see getting much attention:


For every struggle that Joe survived,
For every dispute he endured, to rise,
Joe will go down in history
as a model for champions to come.
While Frazier was a man of few words,
Ali was a world of mouth,
but he found his place in history.
Now his heart can express him well.
Joe Frazier was a silent warrior,
whom Ali silently admired.
One could not rise without the other

/////////////

There live a great man named Joe
who was belittled by a loudmouth foe.
While his rival would taunt and tease
Joe silently bore the stings.
And then fought like gladiator in the ring.

Enjoyed the doc.Ali was truly respected and is to this day by most,if not all boxers and fans alike.:good

 

thin line between being stubborn and prideful.

 

that was some touching words.

I need to get hold of the This is Your Life with Ali..

 

............clay crossed the line when he called Joe a "tom"..............no matter about all the other stuff........he crossed the line...........and Joe has chosen not to forget it.More power to him.
