It's only rare cause it's 50 years old. Marciano didn't like a young black man being talked about as the greatest, and Marciano had a lot of fixed fights from the mob.

Really enjoyed that footage. It's the first time I've ever heard marciano speak. He speaks very well.

Later during filming of the computer fight Rocky and Ali had a chance to talk and exchange stories about their lives. They became friendly and Rocky changed his attitude towards him.

I don't have any problems with what he said. It's not like he's looking back on Ali's career. His personal opinion about Ali's personality is what it is. But I don't think he short-changed him as a boxer. It's important to look at popular fighters with a critical eye. Ali went on to prove himself a great after this.

That was the 60s, when everything was changing at warp speed. The whole world was in a sharp learning curve.

It's interesting to see these double standards. Two fighters will say the exact same thing about "X fights bums I'm the best". If they're black they're flashy and daring! If they're white they're bitter towards the blackness.

Your own sexual fetishes probably play a big role here. It's alright you're perfectly at home on this forum.

I think he means that time period.

Marciano says he didn't like that Ali spoke about his religion (assuming he means when not wanting to go kill other poor people). Wouldn't surprise me if this salty dude would have voted Trump. For these type of white folks you gotta play the book by their rules or you aren't integrating etc...
