Ali - Frazier Relationship

[Pretty Boy1]

In the ALI film with Will Smith they portray Ali and Frazier as friends with Frazier (Toney) offering Ali money when he wasn't fighting. I was told about a documentary on More 4 (UK) about the "Thrilla in Manilla" fight and Frazier harbours a lot of resentment to Ali for all the disrespectful and racial remarks Ali makes about him in the build up to the fight! I thought from the Ali film that they may have been friends but Ali just said those things to hype the fight. Was that bit made up for the film? or were they friends and then fell out with each other?

I'm trying to download it but I don't know how recent it is. I always thought they were ok but I heard Frazier still resents Ali. Maybe they've buried the hatchet since!

i saw that doc last night and if that doc was filmed recently it looks as though Frazier still holds a grudge against Ali he even takes pride in the fact he was some part of Ali's condition now in later life

a bit harsh but that is the way he feels apparently allthough i dont know when that Doc was filmed so they may have patched it up i doubt it though

It was on last night in the UK
Frazier was proud that Ali is all ****ed up now
he has a message on his cell phone about it.

Cant remember what he said now
but he's happy that Ali's the way he is
and he said what goes around comes around.

Larry Holmes said Ali was overrated and i agree.

Thanks for the vid that was awesome! Do you know what year that was from?

Thats a horrible thing to say! Ali did probablt over do the trash talking but for Frazier to say he's happy with Ali's condition now is terrible!!

That was great to see i think Joe and Ali did that for money or something cause I know up until recently they could not stand each other see my thread I posted a while back....Lefty
