Why is it that “the bear” stuck to Liston but “the mummy” didn't stick to Foreman?

    I dont wanna glaze but that video is in the top 10 moments ever recorded. I can imagine Ali cracking up proposing this idea to his wife lol
    Also i agree with your observation, how Ali managed his condition is extraordinary, the pressure he must've felt sometimes to show the world that he was still there. He was always the funniest guy in the room despite having ****ing parkinsons.
    An amazing human being no doubt about it

    Totally agree with all you said 46. If Ali himself could take the **** out of his condition, it helped to loosen everyone else up. One thing the man didn’t want was anyone feeling sorry for him or having pity on him.

    I feel bad for Liston. That had to hurt when he got off the plane and no one was there to greet him.
