    Exactly!! I dont think Horus would be so philosophical about it, if his family had to go through what Frazier's did.

        It was just a different era, it's not like Frazier was the first person he said these things about or the last.

        The same things were being said to black people by black people all over America at the time.

        Ali is still the greatest.

          Ali got death threats, sure. But not from anything Joe Frazier ever said about him.

          And his family never once had to suffer from anything Frazier said.

          Unlike Joe's kids who had to live with death threats, people beating the **** out of them at school because Ali said Frazier was a race trader, etc.....

                I don't recall Frazier ever saying Ali was a draft dodger.

                I seem to remember Joe Frazier supporting Ali's religious beliefs, and defending his choice not to go to Vietnam based on Muhammad's religious beliefs.

                    He also said these things long after Ali started talking about him.

                      I think you're confusing him with Joe Louis, who touted his service when asked about Ali's refusal to be inducted in "Ali/Frazier 1 : One Nation Divisible".

                      And Frazier only resorted to calling Ali Clay after Ali pretty much drug Joe's name and reputation through the dirt.
