No way Joe is that good an actor. That was real.
Ali was usually clowning, pretty much never serious. He knew some of it would get to Frazier - and it would - and some times he took it a little too far (I'm talking before Manila now). But it was clear, and it's clear to me that even when they were fighting, Ali had more profound respect for Joe Frazier than any other fighter he fought.
Look at the Dick Cavett show for instance.

As we agreed in the other thread. Equals.
Without doubt he had mad respect for Joe. There are 2 fighters from what I've seen that Ali talks in a bright and happy light. Always lit up the room when they were mentioned around him. Joe Frazier and Henry Cooper.
That left hook from Cooper never left Ali.Last edited by Terrel; 06-08-2016, 01:47 AM.

It's difficult to say how he really felt about him and really only Frazier would have known deep down.

Originally posted by boliodogs View PostI believe it because I heard Joe Frazier say it numerous times you sarcastic jerk. Am I supposed to believe he is lying about his own feelings and only Foreman knows the truth? You are damn right I believe it. What reason would Frazier have to lie about it? I know I would hate anyone who treated me the way Ali treated Frazier.

My dad met Frazier a year or so before his death and he was still referring to him as Clay and laughing that he gave Ali the disease that eventually killed him.
And why not? This mans children were bullied and terrorised at school because of Ali.
