    Joe's kids were being harassed at school by kids imitating Ali with that. I think that he got away with it because the pubic didn't take it as a racial slur but only as a personal opinion of Frazier himself. Maybe his comical way of saying it also conveyed that he was just fooling around. Was he ever reprimanded or criticized by any Moslem leader for it?

    Ali had some very unislamic taunts and blasphemous personality in the 70s. He body shamed the decent family man Joe in the worst racist disgusting inhumane way. Ali had the spirit of satan in him in those days more than islam

    I don't believe he was ever criticised for it to be honest. Ali was seen as a joker and he got away with a lot of stuff really. Because of who he was. But I believe if Joe had been the same he'd have been ripped to pieces. Like I said, I'm a Ali fan but not of his behaviour at times.

    Not sure to be honest but he definitely did that with Ali. Ali had a look of embarrassment on his face, almost as if the table s had been turned.

    Foolish little dross. Tyson was a helluva lot better than Norton, Frazier, Doug Jones and Henry Cooper. They all put Ali in extreme danger. Did you wanna go heads up on that? If not, pipe it down.

    Tyson has one bad night, for reasons well known to anyone with a brain, before his prison stint. Why did Buster run from the rematch? Because he, like the non haters, knew it was a fluke. I give Douglas the credit he deserves, doesn't mean he fought a well prepared Mike Tyson.

    Kindergarten stuff.

    Typical spin move by the ever faithful Unforgiven. Strange how I had foreseen this. Shall we do this again?

    What ATG's beat Tyson head to head? You know what ATG means, so don't spin this bull**** like your last response.

    Tyson would NEVER have to throw the amount of punches Frazier needed to hurt Ali. Tyson doesn't have to fight like Frazier. He has a far better bag of tools than Frazier ever had. Sad to say but Tyson MURDERS Frazier!

    I'm not the only one who thinks Tyson troubles Ali.

    Definitely not Ken. That's how it was perceived at the time. Oh its only Ali having a laugh, sort of thing. But as tough a guy as Joe was it cut him up when it affected his family.

    Ali had a heart of gold deep down and I'm sure he was only acting up when giving Frazier abuse, he got carried away a little but I don't think he meant to hurt Frazier. Ali respected Joe like crazy that I assure you.

    Thanks for the assurance but the fact that Joe, to his dying day, never forgave Ali for the way he tried to use race to turn people against him, shows that he felt the complete opposite of what you are saying about Ali.

    Ali lost 5 times as well. Ali was also given quite a few gift decisions, if I may be so bold.

    Check.
