    If Ali was told that there would be more likelihood he would sign because he was simply wired that way.

    Well outings against Liston and Foreman as well as multiple rematches with difficult opponents in Frazier and Norton tell a completely different story.

    Well I felt Foreman deserved a rematch on US soil and I don’t think Ali ever beat Norton

    if you watch the footage of Ali and Chamberlain together wilt looks as cool as a cucumber whilst Ali is full of nervous energy and won’t stop talking loudly trying to overcompensate for his obvious shortcomings

    Do you dislike Ali by any chance? Ali was always loud when there was something going on. What obvious shortcomings would you say he has?

    I enjoy watching his fights but I’m not the biggest fan of his

    the loudest one in the room is the weakest one they say

    Ali was the greatest fighter on the planet and full of confidence so i'm pretty sure he wasn't feeling all that overawed. Just my take of course lol

    Ali was constantly the loudest one in the room in the lead ups to the Foreman and Liston fights if you get my drift.

    In my view Wilt unnerved Ali he even left the interview early which I feel was due to him being uncomfortable in Wilt’s presence

    I can smell Wilts semen on your breath go brush your teeth, Wilt was a basketball player athletic in his own sport there are freaks in every sport Wilt would be turned to mince meat I’ve seen the interview Ali was kidding the entire time you goose it wasn’t taken seriously at all.

    think you need to calm down we’re having a discussion here no need to get upset and start insulting people because they have a different opinion it’s a sign that you are uncivilised

    I’m not civil and neither are you, you’d have to be primitive to think Chamberlain would even consider actually getting in the ring with the greatest boxer of his era Ali left because Chamberlain was stealing all the attention in the room being as tall as a lamp post and not giving into his antics while everyone there were being bigger size queens then the general forum.

    Jesus Christ, Ali would have hit Chamberlain about 10 times before he knew what the **** was going on
