    Get real, his hate has nothing to do with being the 'inferior boxer'.....it runs far deeper.

    For the people who wrongly feel that Frazier hates Ali because Ali won 2 out of 3: (which by the way is the most foolish reason for Frazier to hate Ali)

    The documentary was not designed any particular way. Joe has never stopped hating Ali for one minute.

    Can't believe you saw that film and come out of it with less respect for Frazier. That pretty much astonishes me.

    The things Ali said were totally unforgivable, but I honestly think Frazier can accept his apology...what he can't accept, is how the media and the general public romanticize Ali. Frazier was a man who fought for them, and they have since stabbed him in the back for their old enemy.

    Frazier deserves what Ali has now. The massive amounts of respect and even wealth, but he doesn't get it. He will always be "Ali's arch rival", and I think a big part of his anger towards Ali, comes from that. There is a lack of respect shown towards him. If his opinion on Ali was solely because of the comments made back then, would he feel the same "hatred" towards Ali, had he knocked him out three times? I doubt it.

    For Frazier, Ali is a man he cannot forgive but I don't think the vitriolic anger he now shows, are purely a reciept for the insults Ali used. I think a large part of the way he feels now, is jealously for how globally renowned Ali is.
     
  7. Frazier is becoming a cranky old fart, who needs to let all of that **** go, he should be thankful he is in betetr health than Ali, besides all of Ali taunts and B.S was over 30 years ago, a ****ing very long time ago, jesus christ let it go and move on..
