    How do you feel about Duran, Lewis, Monzon, and Hopkins?

    The pure ****ing naive ignorance that all Ali did was call him names astounds me.

    To know so little about a subject, and to look at it outside of the racially charged 70's when said events occurred.

    ****ing dumb. I'm actually disappointed in Classic for once.

    But, carry on. No need for looking beyond the cookie cutter surface **** that went on between the two. No need to remedy the ignorance.

    I don't blame Frazier for being pissed off at the time.....but damn he's holding onto that anger for a long time, maybe he needs therapy or something because Ali has apologised and only has good things to say about Frazier these days.

    Maybe it's the Christians that are the hateful ****s after all, not the Muslims :think

    The thing is...I've heard many a Frazier interview and he sounds like he's in not much better shape than Ali at the moment.

    Time to concentrate on yourself Joe, and let the hate go, I reckon. I understand the initial anger but now? After all these years? Meh.

    I think Joe felt like betrayed him, which is always very hard to forgive.

    It seems as though one man could separate aspects of his life with boxing, and the other couldn't

    I know. It's making even me feel serious and putting me in a bit of a pissy mood. But whatever, I will just move on and keep it light like I like it. Ah, sweet schnapps. Come to papa Boxed Ears.

    What the hell? I just saw a Foreman special on last night...bought a grill off it. You don't know what you're talking about. That special comes on three times a week here.

    Don't even listen to that troll. every time he posts it almost always involves insulting another fighter or putting them down. In this instance, Ali was no ****. But Frazier should really just get over it. I know what Ali did to him. But Frazier also called Ali clay in 67'. So he initated it, and it looks like he still calls him clay. Terrell also called Ali clay and Ali called him and uncle tom. I don't think Terrell is bitter to this day.
    I'm just tired of the hatred. Enough is enough! :patsch

    Yeah I need to get around to that one. I've a pile of books three feet high to get though at the mo tho lol. I've read people talking about g.o.m on forums though which is where I got the story from, also why I got it wrong. Can you tell me a little bit more about that incident?
