    I have the Ali Frazier I fight, were both both Ali and Joe did a review of there historic first fight(And getting ready for there rematch)

    These 2 of couse had that in studio brawl. Marciano and Walcott would have never degraded themselfs like that. And they prove it when Walcott and Marciano did something similar for there first fight.

    That is true I'm sure but Ali really did respect Louis and Marciano and did say so often. He lists Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson as his two great idols. And he often said nice things about Rocky.

    Marciano had a TV show after he retired and had Joe on to review and talk about their first fight. Of course it was very cordial. These guys were professional fighters. It was not a personal thing between them.
