    Ive always wondered, at the end of the first fight with Ali. Frazier smiles and nods at him.
    Was he being sarcastic here or genuinely congratulating Ali?

    I enjoyed the part where Frazier grabs Ali and pulls him off the ropes

    He was a special fighter to every boxing fan i've ever met. He had all the qualities fans of the sport admire so much: excitement, courage, power and vulnerability. As a person he was grounded and humble. He was impossible to dislike.


    "Right here, mutha****er". :yep :cool:

    It was in his liver and I think once that happens that is that. :-( Liver is one of the absolute worst case scenarios cancer wise.

    I know an old guy who used to play regularly at my tennis club, he got taken in 10 days ago and they think it is in his liver and he is going downhill very fast.

    How about the part in FOTC where Frazier does a Ali "rope-a-dope" impression on the ropes while grinning, that was great too.


    Rest In Peace Champ, you will forever be remembered as a fearless & legendary warrior.

    I never seen that.

    I enjoy those out of character moments boxers do sometimes in the ring. Like Tyson smiling at Mitch Green
