  1. Whats the truth then Jimbo? The truth is Ali said what he said to sell and promote a fight against an opponent who's lack of charisma and wit, made Ali to appear like a bully in comparison mentally inferior opponent. That could be said for many of Ali's opponents tbh. Perfectly true, but I think Frazier took dullness to a whole new level, but the likes of Liston and Foreman for example had a air of invincibility about them more than compensated, as I said before, Ali always mocked his opponents, that was his style and added to his popularity, but this documentary put a hugely negative spin on it, Ali's arrogance and verbal attacks were what made him the star he was.

  3. I felt embarrassed for him tbh Aye, joking apart he cut a sad figure to say the least. Great boxer like. Agreed, sadly it is an all too familiar trend in boxing.

  5. Just watched this for the first time, I thought it was a very lop-sided documentary with a clear anti-Ali agenda, whilst Ali was no angel, the documentary laboured the premise that Ali was a cruel and mean sportsman who bullied Frazier, I don't buy into this, Frazier was an quiet, uncharismatic fighter who couldn't sell a fight, Ali whipped up the fight promotion with his antics, the same antics he used in all his fights, calling Frazier "The Gorilla" was no worse in my opinion than calling Floyd Patterson "The Rabbit", Sonny Liston "The Bear" or Earnie Shavers "The Acorn", Ali used the hype get under the skin of his opponents and to big-up his own self confidence, in Frazier he faced a man he knew could beat him and he needed to take the hype provocation to higher levels. Very interesting but very very unbalanced bias.
  6. Better for one of them to pick up zero points, our aim is to finish at least 4th from bottom, simple as that.
  7. I believe that Tyson believes that he didn't rape Desirae Washington, but that doesn't mean he didn't. if that makes any sense at all. I think it does. You mean he thought it was consentual sex but it may not have been? Yes, in Tyson's mind: woman + hotel room = Jiggy-Jiggy.

  9. Lets hope Fulham have nothing to play for by the time they play us.
  10. I'd be worried if you said you fancied drinking lighter fuel
  11. Styles make fights, and for me Hatton has always got caught a little too often for my liking, Pacquaio's speed will be the deciding factor.

  13. Same here mate, I've been checking over my finances to see if I can justify investing in a huge fuck-off telly.
