    there was an interesting thread about how an ali vs tyson press conference would go....

    i was one of the people who said that ali took advantage of the fact that fighters in that time were more gentlemen like and did not start fights at press conferences...


    so he would talk non stop **** while these guys were looking angry at him for 30 mins.

    basically i said that if he did this with tyson or bowe,
    he would get punched in the face preety fast, and since ali did not strike as a brawling type, this would send him a nice message....

    something like this

    i think if frazier had taken ali's head off with a left hook while being called a gorilla.....maybe this would have saved a lot of personal headaches.....


    it's a good way to shut someone up who tormenting you.....


    basically you cant say too much when your handlers are picking you up from the floor and espically if you lost some teeth or got a broke jaw....


    basically it is not the nicest thing to do but why just stand there let some guy abuse you. espcially since frazier helped out ali when he was in need etc


    i know they had their little wrestling thing on the floor but this is different
