why didnt frazier punch ali out in press conference's
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

ahh well if someone is talking **** in your face, his mouth has started the fight so its not really a cheap.....


he is in your face and is talking ****, one guy punches the other in the face...
that's how fights go, this is not a movie....




having grown up in a bad area and i worked as a bouncer for a long time....this is just how things go....

a cheap shot is when you punch a guy when he does not see it, not 2 guys in each faces....then it's just a matter of time until one hits the other.....


you guys talk about frazier being a bigger professonal then bowe....that's true
but because of his professonalism he let some guy verbally **** him...

a person should be professonal and respectful when the other is professonal and respectful......not to a guy who disresepcting you in every possible way....
uncle tom, a gorilla etc



also about "ohh if i lash out then he must gotten to me"
i dont you would care to much if got to him if you have a broken jaw hahahaha

which a frazier hook would no doubts do

 

well promoting a match does not mean sounding like a kkk member,
if it's not street then there are limits, you cross those limits then you turn into a street thing....

a person should not have to carry trauma for 35 years hahhaa


basically i think ali took advantage of the times where he could get away with using his big mouth non stop....

to be honest i think in the last 20 years, if he did the same, he would get cracked quite a few times
