Comments Thread For: Muhammad Ali Backing Pacquiao on 5/2, Says Daughter

Glad to hear Ali excited!

Big difference here. Manny changed his life for the better.

Floyd is still a piece of shlt.

At least Manny is still married to his long child hood love. Floyd beats every women he is with, and sleeps with more hookers than anyone can or has. What do you call all those skanky bltches that are with Floyd now? Friends? Girl friends? They aint nothing but hookers. lmfao...

Again...only because youre a little slow....Manny changed his life for the better...and chnaged others lives ass well.

Floyd...lol is the same dirt bag piece of human shlt hes always been and alwys will be. lmfao

you'll believe anything Manny tells you. I don't really care that he did the standard "athlete gets caught cheating" thing and pretends to turn his life over to the church. If Manny were really such a great person you wouldn't feel the need to post it over and over for no reason.

He's no different than SRL or ODH-Bob Arum sells the world an image and anyone who loves them sucks it up like a vacuum. Behind the scenes we know what is really happening. No different than one of these politicians that preaches against ****sexuality whilst taking the fat one in the rear.

Yeah Manny loves her so much he had sex with her after raw dogging hookers and getting one pregnant. Get your wife that for her birthday and see what happens.

when not married, you can **** however many women you want to.

now I gave you some attention, lets get back to the thread.

Do you recall Ali bringing another woman besides his wife to the Phillipines? Do you recall Ali in Brothels in the Phillipines before the "Thriller in Manilla?" Do you recall Ali calling Malcolm X a traitor, and calling for his death? Do you recall Ali calling Frazier "Black, Ugly, and Ignorant?" I remember both the "Good," and the "Bad." Sad thing is Ali would say, "I did it to promote the fight, it's just business." I can hear Floyd saying something very similar.

Floyd would not do such thing at all. I didn't know this about Ali. *** him then. What an uncle Tom he is if this is true. You have a reference?

In another of the many ironies behind this story, Frazier, two years his junior, was among those who admired him. Indeed, by 1970, when he had won the world title, Frazier lobbied the boxing authorities to permit Ali to box again — even at the risk of losing his crown to a man many still regarded as ‘The Greatest’.

Frazier later recalled how he also showed kindness to Ali, then struggling to eke out a living by lecturing college students about the iniquities of white imperialism, by giving him a lift in his Cadillac, from Philadelphia to New York...

Frazier agreed to fight the newly returned Ali at Madison Square Garden in March, his insults grew ever more wounding.

Frazier was ‘dumb’, ‘ugly’, ‘******’, a supine patsy to the white boxing authorities, Ali crowed (conveniently forgetting that Frazier’s training and corner team were black while his were largely white).

His clear implication was that, when he viewed Smokin’ Joe — who never rocked the boat — he saw all that was worst in a black man, and he wanted to destroy that with words as well as fists...

As historian Randy Roberts says: ‘One of the many paradoxes about Ali is that he embraced an ideology that disparaged white people, yet he was never cruel to white people — only blacks.’ And Frazier, he adds, was treated most cruelly of all...

The great charmer also emerged victorious in the PR war by summoning Frazier’s son, Marvis, to his dressing room after the fight and telling him he hadn’t meant a word of what he had said about his father.

But Ali never apologised directly to Frazier, and it took him a further quarter of a century to say in public he was sorry.

‘I said a lot of things in the heat of the moment that I shouldn’t have said and called him names I shouldn’t have called him,’ he told the New York Times in 2001. ‘It was all meant to promote the fight.’

gotta disagree with mr ali here...blacks dont stick together and its sickening..he is not a racist, but we have been taught to hope our own kind fails...i hope floyd kicks his ass..floyd supports the broners,spences, and upcoming guys..it would be nice if ali could support the ones that came after him other than sugar ray..ali even said things about tyson and tyson was his biggest fan...

Why do people have to stick with their own kind when it comes to stuff like this? I am a white guy from the suburbs and I am q big mammy pacquiao fan. He is a phillipino, race has absolutely nothing to do with it. Especially in this situation where Manny is a perfect example of how to act inside and outside of the ring while mayweather has been arrested 7 times for beating up women. Why would anybody want Floyd to win that is the real question

[jjsmyth87]

Wow you guys are really reaching. Ali was the one who was famous for calling Joe Frazier an uncle tom. Ali was the one who stood up for black people in the 70's, I cant believe some people on here are mad at Ali for picking pacquiao but dont even know their own cultures history and what Ali stood for in the 60s and 70s

Where did it say he called him black ugly and ignorant? He called him ugly and q gorrilla but that was to promote the thrills in manila. Are you guys trolls or what?

You know nothing about ****, be quiet. Floyd calling Pac a dog eater and sushi chef must bother you.
Ali insulting someone like Fraser is much worse than Floyd wanting to hire Pac as a steamed rice cook.

March 8, 2006:

I tried to be tough and fair, but it seemed like cheerleading; whatever I wrote, I was eventually selling tickets to the next fight.

After all, here was this supposed racial hero who lectured on the righteousness of segregation ... and put down decent, brave Joe Frazier as an ugly gorilla.

Here was this sermonizer on family values ... who was bonking his brains out (but then, his leader, the Honorable Elijah, lived in a Chicago mansion attended by pregnant young "secretaries").

And worst, here was this man of peace ... who had turned his back on Malcolm, whom I came to know and respect, and Leon 4X Ameer, a former ****** who had become my friend. Although Ali was clearly then in at least emotional thrall to the Nation of Islam, his disavowal of Malcolm, his mentor, and of Leon, Ali's bodyguard, was unconscionable and fatal for them. It seems unlikely that the ******s would have dared murder them if Ali had not publicly made them unpersons.

Sometimes the truth hurts! I still have love for Ali, but he's not the man I thought he was when I was a child. That's part of getting older, "you live and you learn!'
