Great boxers who were great human beings

[WarHagler]

Historical context goes a long way. What was comsidered racism then and now are apples and oranges. Perhaps you can source that passage? Or will you just link it to some other boxing forum? As for Ali, we can talk about any fighter we want. The thread is about fighters who were generally good people. Ali is considered a patron saint among many fans and sportswriters but he was a flawed man, as are all men. You have to judge a man for the sum of his deeds and make a proper judgment call. Not assassinate his entire character on the basis of a single flaw or two.

I understand we can talk about any boxer but but you just brought his name up out of the blue when the subject of our debate was Tunney, as for the link you asked me to elaborate on why I think Tunney was a racist I see you also forgot to mention him drawing the color line when it came to black boxers . You are right about Ali he wasn't no saint but he was a man who most of his all around him we're people who were racist towards him so although that doesn't justify his actions he at least had a reason.




PS. Learn to spell Moron.

We don't know these people. The best way to know the true character and private side of an individual is by living with them.

Sure, when they are in the public, in front of the cameras and the lights are on, they all come across as nice guys. However, when those lights are turned off and they are know longer in the public and in front of the cameras, then the real personalities of these individuals began to surface.

Just ask their wives and the people who live with them.

I think GGG and Canelo are great fighters and great people. They are always polite and respectful. Canelo returned to Baldomir a very large amount of money Baldomir had to pay him for being overweight. GGG is donating money to the victims of the earth quake in Mexico.

Canelo and his Brothers ambushed FLYWEIGHT Archie Solis and beat him so badly it ended his career.

That's not what great people do.

You almost made it. Couldn't cross the finish line without an insult. Meanwhile, you tell me to learn how to spell while using incorrect grammar.

"wasn't no saint" - should read, "wasn't a saint".

"most of his all around him we're" - WTF are you trying to say here? How about, "most of those around him"?

For one thing it's were not we're--as in "we are".

You don't need to capitalize "moron".

You're welcome.

most human beings are full of ****, I consider myself a pretty decent n balanced person.. but im full of it as well at times. anyone can put on an act. all of them seem like pretty decent people I try not to get caught in my emotions about someones personality or outside the ring life. everyone has their own story.

Who boasted about giving Ali parkinson's later on in life

No doubt Frazier was bitter towards Ali for the way he was treated by him, but that doesn't make Frazier a bad guy. What he said was in poor taste, but you can't judge the man for how he felt towards Ali or as a man on the whole.
