Have tried watching UFC stuff, a buddy who was a top level collegiate wrestler trains some of them but in my time the likes of Ali, Hearns, Hagler, Sugar Ray, and Tyson have more relevancy. There was one and will only ever be one Ali, or Cassius for you anti Muslims.

That fight showed how brutal Ali could be, by making the fight drag on without a scratch on him. He taunted the wrong guy and paid the price. Not his finest moment as a human being though.

He would fit in great today with modern liberals. Edited September 22, 2021 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crnr2Crnr Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Part 4 is on tonight Recall watching the thrilla in manilla with my dad. Ali and Frazier nearly killed each other in that fight. Yet, Ali kept on fighting. It's also sad how so many around him milked every last bit out of him for their own personal gain.

Phenom Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Amazing athlete, very generous humanitarian, devout follower of Nation of Islam, strong black advocate, bigamist, wife cheater, showman, racist and xenophobic, that’s a lot of good and bad for one person.

Yep. This works. Add “coward” to it though. He was fun to watch. I personally liked the showmanship. It made his foes REALLY hate him.
