Ali used to troll Frazier but truth is, Frazier had a kind heart and was always open to Ali even though at times, Ali may not have deserved it. Would not surprise me if this was after all the smack Ali talked about Frazier. Frazier had a maturity that allowed him to see beyond Ali's childish taunts.

Actually, Ali never apologized to Frazier (to his face) and Frazier never got over the things Ali said about him.
When Ali got to light the Olympic torch many years later, Joe said.
"It would have been a good thing if he would have lit the torch and fallen in [to the flames]. If I had the chance, I would have pushed him in."

Pretty harsh words. It seemed to me while watching the Thrilla in Manila documentary that Frazier genuinely hated Ali. But after seeing this pic I thought maybe he was just talking in the heat of the moment.

Thats just crazy man. Ali took it a little bit overboard. Frazier had a legit reason to hate the guy.
