He man never got his due... Won the fight of the century but people like Cossell marginalized it. Ali was a world class douchebag towards him, and people were gullible to it.

RIP Champ....

Frazier never deserved it and Ali should've met up with Frazier again a long time ago to smooth things over.

Joe Frazier...you'll be missed.

R.I.P. Champ... btw they did meet up and smooth things over. Ali admitted it was a marketing ploy that he took too far.

I meant right after their fights. Frazier took it REALLY hard and his family was being threatened.

I don't think he did, man. Joe's been on Stern a dozen or so times in the past few years and he most certainly did not believe that Ali had ever been a gentleman. The only apology was a confused one in the '70s. Joe absolutely still carried resentment and humiliation.

And it wasn't a marketing ploy, Ali would still rag on Joe after fights. And if it was a ploy, Joe wasn't let in on it, and so still suffered the full effects of the insults and humiliation.

Ali was a real dominating guy, it was part of his motivation. Like Jordan. Joe Frazier really suffered for it. RIP.
Hi love, bye love, I will miss my love.

I would really recommend people to see Thrilla in Manila documentary on HBO this Thursday before anyone says that things were smoothed over.... There is also a One Nation Divisible documentary out there somewhere... Ali was a world class douchebag... there is no changing that.

For religious reasons, Ali wouldn't let his wives listen to music. Meanwhile, he had no problem showing up to events (including televised ones) with his mistress presented as his wife.

Douche bag and hypocrite. Royal scumbag. Joe Frazier forever.
