Video of Ali at Fraziers funeral

No Average Joe, forever smokin'. RIP.

 

I noticed watching the Thrilla in Manilla show, Holmes don't like Ali either. I'm cannot stand him and that showed reaffirmed my views on Ali. In saying that i never like seeing people ill.

 

This, but it is sad to see what was once a great athlete like that

 

Of course :good

 

Ali had his faults (to say the least) but Holmes was a grumpy, surly ****er himself.

 

What was the beef between them?, I don't like either man but respect there fighting ability.

 

Cheap racial dig from Jesse Jackson shamelessly embedded in his eulogy.

 

Hate seeing the greatest athlete ever in that kind of condition.

 

Ali taunted him mercilessly, referring to him as an 'Uncle Tom' and labelling him as the 'gorilla'. He very much moulded the public perception of Joe and Frazier resented him for it for the rest of his life.

 

think he ment Holmes Ali

 

Sorry mate, As LP said i meant Holmes Ali :good.

The acts of Ali towards Smokin' Joe were a utter disgrace, as Joe said to his on Marvin when Ali said 'tell your dad i apologize'. 'Son, why didn't he apologize to me!'. Joe was the real great man and the man of class. That 'Uncle Tom' as Ali liked to call him wasn't the man that stood with KKK.

Anyways not gonna drag the thread down any further with my views on Ali :good.

 

oh ok.

Holmes always lived in the shadow of Ali blah blah blah. Deer Lake sparring sessions blah blah blah Marciano and jockstrap blah blah blah.
