Kolavev learned the gorilla/monkey shirt tactic from.. ALI

[Illmatic94]

(since some people are til this day crying about Kovalev putting the coward Adonis on a shirt as a monkey..this was his inspiration.)



Ali repeatedly called Joe Frazier an "ugly gorilla". all the press and fans did was laugh. HAHAHAHAH. Frazier was never amused. he hated Ali until his death. he actually bragged and took credit for giving Ali parkinson's and closing his mouth. thats how much these insults cut him.

(Ali went a step further and made the WHOLE squad wear gorilla shirts.)

"but but Ali was promoting a fight" this is the excuse often given. but would Kovalev then get a pass if he did it during a fight build up? of course he wouldn't.

Kovalev imitates the greatest and people go crazy. SMH.

Wow Ali was a ****ing racist

[Southpawology]

Ali was black so he could get away with it. Kovalev is white he doesnt have that luxury.

All I know is Kov got his ass whooped. How come Ali stuck to his guns and Kov didn't, lmao...!!!??? Cong**** to Alvarez. The crybaby's are either bring up Ali's gorilla shirt of Frazier...or Ward losing the first Kov fight lmao. Talk about that right hand Alvarez landed, lmao. Then talk about the two piece and biscuit too...!!! HahahahaHha

No it wasn't! You trying to excuse kovalev of acting out racist? What a Shame.

this sounds like the "i heard a black person say the N word so why cant I" argument.

Kov made no mention of that shirt being inspired by ali lolol u litreally just lied......also those were different times. U are comparing the 60s to the 2000s? The 60s 70s were racist u doke lolol Frazier was deemed a uncle tom by alis clan which in their mind they could insult him anyway they wanted because he is now a sell out (thats how they thought in the 60s) These are all facts.....how does that translate into kovalov who is in the 2000s putting a monkey head on a black boxer? It was racist distasteful and ignorant......call it what it is as oppose to trying to use ali in which u knew nothing about the history of that situation and make kovalovs antics seem better......he got knocked out by the very thing he mocked lolol

unlike now...

Frazier also labelled Ali a mixed breed...the **** is that?

So Frazier deserved everything he got.

Anyway, theres a huge racial difference here, in case you didnt notice.
