what you all might be forgetting about muhammad ali

[Stone Roses!]

You're talking about Thrilla right?!? I remember seeing an interview with Ali where he basically said he was glad Futch threw it because he(Ali) couldn't get up for the bell.

Similar to how Ali said he was going to quit during the first Liston fight?

But never did?

You jokers just love conspiracy theories.

Thats the truth that fight WAS headed for a draw, unlike the Norton fights.

Which basically translates into


"I am a Euro-****, idiot, Klitschko stan who thinks Ali is a crap fighter and lost all fights to Norton and cheated vs Frazier and Foreman and never fought anyone as big as Vitali or Wlad which means he will lose to both of them"

Move along troll

Im from Columbus Ohio, and I train with Buster Douglas's people. Good call there..........Where did I say ali cheated against Frazier, i said Frazier was past it and because of the myth of Ali, you had to virtually kill him to win a round. You really think foreman won 0 rounds against Ali? 0? Did you watch the fight?

LOL damn dude, its not a conspiracy theory if the man said it himself. It was a damn close fight and it was a corner than ended it, not the men fighting. I give Ali all his credit due but I don't like it when people make out it to seem like he blew away Frazier. Dude went life and death 3 times but got the razor's edge in the end.

[pistol whip]

What people forget about ali is that the dude is NOT a good role model. Great athlete but history tends to make ali out as a civil rights hero when really he was just as racist and bigoted as those he was taking a stand against.

Yup! I was always a fan of Joe Frazier approach to civil rights and always thought Ali was nothing more than a bigot who did more to harm the civil rights movement rather than help it.

You watched the whole fight? I been watching that fight on VHS since the boxset with Thrilla n Rumble came out.

I still wonder what would have happenned if they'd got them both back up. Drives me crazy.

[SplitSecond]

nah, he was an overrated hype job

with a lot of fixed claims around his fights, mind you

If Futch hadn't stopped it, Ali would've got up and murdered Joe in the 15th.
