RIP... but as far as I can say, he was a semi-incompetent babbler.

Great man, I actually saw a program about him when he was with Ali recently. He really cared about fighters and especially Ali.

Dr Ferdie Pacheco said in a documentary that Muhammad Ali was manipulated by Islam, and I agree. he's just too frank. Rest In Peace sir.

I enjoyed his commentary, even though he was good and bad at times.
Kind of like Teddy Atlas in a way.

Originally posted by bigjer88 View PostNope. I saw that documentary too. Ferdie claimed that the Nation of Islam spoon-fed Ali certain phrases that Ali then made famous and got credit for (e.g., "Ain't no Viet Cong ever called me [n word]"). Might have been the documentary on the Thrilla in Manilla.

RIP Fight Dr.
Love him or hate him, he did know the boxing game well and (at times) did great commentary.
