    Blind in one eye since the mid 60's too. Not bad considering.

    Ali is just a loudmouth punk. An overrated media poser. It's a pity Frazier wasn't let out for the last round in Manila to smash what was left of Ali into hamburger.

    Yeah im of the same opinion after watching that documentary.

    Would have loved to have seen Frazer beating Ali in that last bout.

    I have no doubt that in those times privately Ali admired, respected and liked Frasier.
    But Professionally his aim was to psyche out his opponent and also to increase ticket sales.
    Luckily enough having held a grudge for most of his life Frasier and Ali had a reconciliation of sorts a few years ago.

    Together with Foreman, the three greatest heavyweights or even fighters of all time.

    Watched parts of it the other night and never knew that Frazier showed such solidarity and support to ALi when he was banned. It did make Ali's later behaviour toward him a little shameful in that context.

    Yeah, Frazier was one of the very few people who publicly supported Ali, gave him cash when he was broke and Ali made a cúnt of him.

    Then having to listen to the media talk about how great Ali is as a man for the next 40 years. Must have been tough for Frazier.

    I think posters should copyright their posts on boards,hate posters who refuse to acknowledge another but repeat what they have said ver batim as if they had not read them.

    can easily happen once but some posters do it all the time.

    Do you know what I hate? I hate it when people repeat other peoples posts on some meaningless thread rather than simply reading the entire thread from start to finish first in order to make sure their feelings on a subject doesn't appear too similar to someone elses opinion.

    I just hate it.

    So i assume that post was only one of others on the boxing forum from where it was reported first.
    I am sorry you do not recognise the blatant plagerism that goes on here all the time.

    P.S bye bye,yiz are welcome to the mess that is Boards.

    Ah yes, having the same opinion as someone else is plagerism now?

    What exactly is your problem? You're making some sort of point there but it essentially comes off that if two people make the same point on a thread or a second thread appears somewhere else that the second person has committed "plagiarism"? (btw I'm not usually a Grammar Capitalist but helps to spell the word correctly if your going to be throwing it around there)

    What? Unless "plagerism" means having the same opinion as somebody, I'm not sure what your issue is. It is not as if somebody copied and pasted your post and used it verbatim. Now that would be plagiarism. People speaking about well documented historical facts and sharing opinions is not plagiarism. You are not "scooping" anybody, most people with any passing interest in boxing are aware of those topics.

    But he didn't...and Ali is overrated?

    Both were great boxers.

    Well he did beat him in their first match, the "Fight of the Century" in Madison Square Garden. Plus as is well documented, nobody knows if Ali would have made it up for the 15th Round. If Eddie Futch had hesitated a bit longer, Ali might have given up.

    It is all ifs and buts and both men were as good as each other.

    I take it you were a boxer at some stage in your life because you must have taken a few strong blows to the head in your life time to post such a stupid comment.

    I even stated in my comment where I got my view from, it was the Documentary 'Thrilla in Manilla' or did you actually make the documentary yourself?

    Talk about a sad post if you actually think that people are 'stealing' your views and comments.

    I guess everyone has seen this but it is worthy of another watch.
