So Joe Frazier wasn't really an Uncle Tom when he fought Ali? He didn't do much to dispel the notion of the "servile Negro". Not that I care. He's a strong, proud man. Too each their own. But when you put yourself out there for God and the world to see, you can expect to be scrutinized minutely. Sometimes it works to your advantage; sometimes it doesn't. At least Frazier never went to jail for being who he was. And who doesn't believe Ali won quite a few of his fights by getting into people's heads before the bell even sounded, just like Tyson and Liston? Psychology was half of his game at least.
Anyway, Ali is still giving back after all these years, inside and outside of boxing. He could hide out with his condition and all. But he stands up proudly for the whole world to see, for better or worse, come praise or criticism. What the heck is Joe Frazier doing today, except still riding Ali's coattails? I don't really care about Frazier's feelings. He's a heavyweight fighter for crissake. I'm sorry his kids had to suffer through those times, though. But they didn't suffer any more publicly than millions of kids are still suffering privately in their own situations in inner cities all over the country.
What the heck. They were both great fighters who helped to define each other and the sport. They left much of themselves in the ring. Let 'em be already.Comment

Neither did Ali, peckerhead. Ali spent a weeked in jail for reckless driving or something like that. That's the only jail time he served.At least Frazier never went to jail for being who he was.Comment

Wow. That's one of the dumbest things I've read on these boards.So Joe Frazier wasn't really an Uncle Tom when he fought Ali? He didn't do much to dispel the notion of the "servile Negro".

If you don't care about Frazier's feelings then by definition you don't care how he feels about Ali. And so you've just posted a bunch of crap about something you don't care about. So I'm sure you'll excuse me if I choose to ignore your stinking pile...Comment
