    I think that you need to understand that beyond the hype, the show of it all, the lights, glitz and glamor, it is still FIGHTING...these men, beyond the hype, want to do DAMAGE to each other...men KILL each other in that ring sometimes...Im not worried about my opponent and the things I say to him or what he says about or to me...he is trying to HURT me...its not a cartoon, a tennis match or a stage production, my man...

      Yeah well if you want to dismiss or endorse what happened fine. I think he was way out of line. What I meant by his family was that his kids needed security to go to school and they heard all of the insults that were way over the top and totally unnecessary even if they did help build the fight. I don't care you should show more respect to a fellow human being. If it happened to Ali well two wrongs don't make a right. You have your opinion but I don't respect Ali and the way he talked about Fraizer and never will. I don't blame Fraizer for hating him until the day he died. There are plenty of things I could say about Ali now but I keep them to myself because I have a little bit of class which is more then I can say for that insensitive prick. There isn't enough money in the world for me to publicly humiliate someone like that even if they were my enemy.
      You have a bit of class do you?

      What could you say that could possibly humiliate someone like Muhammad Ali? Who the **** are you that you think something you say could humiliate Ali?

      What, you could try and make fun of his Parkinsons Disease? Go on, say it. But remember, you too if you live long enough will reach old age, who knows what lies ahead for you, for all of us before we go around saying things that we think will humiliate other people.

      Wether you respect him or not, Muhammad Ali will forever be rememebered as one of if not THE greatest Sportsman of all time. You will forever be a nobody on a internet forum. Nothing you could say could humiliate Muhammad Ali.

          Great story! Thanks Iceman Ali was a much more than just a boxer, he became an Icon and a Symbol and he still is.

          About the story i wish we could see a picture of the photo Ali and Joe signed that would be really cool.

          Thx for the story !

            I like ali dont get me wrong but I think people forget what he did to joe frazier.

            Frazier never forgave him, up till the day he died.

                Yeah in a way its true... he overdid it at some point, but he knew he did wrong and really apologized from the heart. Too bad Smokin Joe never could find the peace in his heart to forgive the man... or maybe he did but in his last days RIP champ.

                  Many say that, they act like Joe hated Ali...and that they didnt get along, Joe wanted him dead etc rigjt to the end but I sat with Joe in his office in the summer of 2005 and we talked about Ali and I got the impression they were firends..(Joe had a recent pic of him and Ali sitting together on his desk as a matter of fact)...he even called "Muhammad" as opposed to the "Clay" he called him when he was mad at him...
