Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Not that nice in doc's i seen talking about Ali and making comments about the parkinsons. Sad all the same though Not that nice? Everything he's said has been tame compared with Ali's very public bullying of Frazier. Frazier's comments have shown a lack of class, but it was an extremely bitter feud with Ali destroying Frazier's reputation amongst parts of the black community--this after Frazier helped Ali financially and in other ways when he was exiled from boxing. Talking of boxing, he was shit hot. Apparently he had limited vision throughout a lot of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IocCgocRjhY Despite Ali's dumb beliefs (he was pro-segregation at one point) and his bullying nature, he was a natural comedian and funny as fuck.

Guest alex Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Was a very depressing site in that documentary. (The Fight?). Basically destitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Aye, was that the one where he was living in the backroom of his gym? That's the fella. His trio of fights with Ali were unbelievable btw. The Thriller in Manilla being about as brutal a fight as you'll ever see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38893 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Aye, without fights like those, I wonder if Ali's legend would be what it is? ( And that's from a massive Ali fan btw). He faced some formidable opponents, and I'd say Frazier was the best of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Apparently they made up (Ali and Frazier) a few years ago and apologised to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Potter MD 0 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Aye, was that the one where he was living in the backroom of his gym? I'm pretty sure King was his promoter. Wouldn't be the last great fighter to be financially leeched by King and his band of hanger-ons ie. Tyson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'The Closest Thing To Dying' (I think it was called) which was largely about The Thriller in Manilla was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Aye, RIP. A true legend of boxing. I doubt the sport'll ever regain the place it had in the public's consciousness back when he was fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
