    Remember the Ali v. Frazier street fight? Well supposed street fight.

    People close their busniess, television networks showed up. And a ton of people showe up too. Ali was their in the mix of it all. I just don't belive that Ali wasn't that popular, either hated or loved, people knew Ali.

    Maybe it is the revising of history, I don't know, I wasn't there...I will have to go ask a number of people what they remember, and it will be the casual person, not some die hard boxing fan.


    Did everybody see the video?

      Abe, Awesome tribute. I grew up watching the absolutely magnificent Ali. He was truly a thing of beauty to watch in the ring. Lightning quick hands and smooth as silk in the ring. If anybody could ever post the Cleveland Williams entire fight you would see Ali at his best. The combination of speed, power and accuracy were mind boggling to watch. He was truly the greatest heavyweight fighter I have ever seen.
