#MuhammadAli #IAmAli #JoeFrazier #Boxing
Marvis is such a good man. He had great parents. He called Ali "Mr Ali".
His dad called Muhammad Ali. Clay
@@mongoslade277 so what??he called Frazier ugly n... gorilla etc etc
Ali really belittled Joe in extreme.....
@@siciliapalermo1864 Joe Frazier was a good man and a great boxer. He helped Ali when he was down. He of all people knew the man didn't like his birth name. He went on the Mike Douglas show and said "I call him Clay. His Mama named him Clay". Joe Frazier started that
@@mongoslade277 u can't blame Joe Ali started someone gotta finish it
OMG, Marvis sounds just as Joe!
True, only down part is he couldn't take a punch like his dad.
@@klassickingz9094 Of course it was his dad who changed his style. Marvis was very different from joe, and was best when he fought as a defensive fighter keeping his distance and winning on points. People don't realize that he had an incredibly successful amateur career winning 54 out of 56 flights. One loss was due to a neck injury, the same pinched nerve that eventually caused him to retire when he was a professional. The other was lost to a guy named James broad who marvelous then went on to defeat when she was a professional. He beat a lot of other tough guys on the way up including Tim Witherspoon, James Bone Crusher Smith, James Quick Tillis and more. His dad only ever lost to two men as a professional. George Foreman and Muhammad Ali two of the greatest ever. Marvis Frazier only lost to two men as a professional. Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson, two of the greatest ever. Muhammad Ali said it best. Marvis Frazier might be Joe's son, but his style is best to fighting like me. His dad took over once he became a professional and changed his style to an infighter, the way Joe used to fight. That was all wrong for Marvis and was a huge mistake. He also rushed Marvis into a championship fight after only 10 professional bouts. That was also a big mistake. It's hard being the son of a legend. If Marvis Frazier had been Marvis Jones, he'd get a lot more respect for having a pretty decent boxing career. He might not have won the heavyweight championship, but he was a top contender and played that into two big money fights. A lot of boxers would love to have the career that Marvis Frazier had, despite the two first round knockouts to Holmes and Tyson.
I like how this young man shows his respect to his elders. Throughout his commentary when speaking about Ali, he says Mr. Ali.
Yeah you like that slave talk don't you
"And if God ever calls me to a holy war, I want Joe Frazier fighting beside me"
Absolutely
War that too holy?
🙄🙄
Joe would spit on clay
@@daviddennen7479you miss the facts son?
I was a friend of Muhammad and got to meet Joe on a couple occasions...we never talked about his 3 fights with Joe...Both fighters were gracious individuals. I was young & really didn't like the tension between them... I loved both these Champs...I attended both funerals and have fond memories of both...
Both are really beautiful people aren't they.?
Are you Ali's friend sir ?
@@baranbalkis7507 Yes...we met when I was 19 yrs old...friendship thereafter...served as his driver and for crowd control sometimes...
@@benjamina.4941 do you have instagram account sir ?
@@benjamina.4941 u should document everything u know about ali ! i would read it for sure.
Marvis still a humble guy.THERE WAS NO ALI WITHOUT FRAZIER , THERE WAS NO FRAZIER WITHOUT ALI
You're nothing without your opponent
Ali was Ali and he have been Ali without frazier because Ali was a giant outside the ring aswell as in side and he made these other boxers famous too.
Joe made his selfe famous.u dont know nothing about boxing
No there was Ali way before Joe Frazier
@@agee3520 no
Muhammad Ali's favorite rival was Joe Frazier. He loved his brother guaranteed. 💯
Shut up
@@ramlethalvalentinedestroye1784 someone's salty 🧂
Ali hated that man.
@@tlig that’s not true
Sure Ali favourite rival was not Ken Norton. He lost probably all three matches with him.
RIP Ali and Frazier. Their heated rivalry is what always made me love their three fights (specifically I and III). But I never knew they actually forgave each other just before they passed, hearing from their own children. So nice to hear that, after all the trouble those two great champions went through.
He looks like joe so much
It's as if their releated
@ALPHA WOLF 😂
I must have watched the trilogy between Smokin Joe and Ali numerous times. That 3rd fight both men were never the same. I really wish both would have retired. Rest in peace Champs!!!
It's great to know that both Ali and Frazier finally came to terms and were friends towards the end. I don't blame Frazier for taking the things that Ali have said personally and being hurt by it, especially since it had affected his children. It takes an equally great man to be able to forgive another for his/her mistakes.
On 3/8/1971, The World Stopped for “The Fight” RIP to Two Warriors
Joe Frazier was a truth machine if u wasn’t really the man and ready to go deep into the physical and psychological realm of a real fight that could leave you a different man after, don’t try your luck with Smokin’ Joe 💯🥊
Boxing had lost two of his hero. Ali Frazier, sound so cool.
What many did not understand was that Ali was very well aware that the fans were looking for friction, they wanted a pre-fight brawl. Ali got the crowd going, it was nothing personal, strictly business. As Ali himself said it "The Garden is Sold out! That's Why!"
Muhammad Ali just had so much personality and charisma, his character is beyond anything that could be found nowadays
Ali was The Greatest, but Joe Frazier was a special kind of man. Ali treated Joe very badly; unnecessarily to be honest. When Ali wasn't allowed to fight- Joe lent Ali several hundred dollars one time. I have also noticed that- on several occasions when Ali was honored, Joe always showed up. He traveled all the way to London to be with Ali on a segment of This is Your Life. In the ring- they brought out the best in each other. Two magnificent champions. But Ali should have treated Joe with more respect- outside of the ring. He deserved it- and it was the one flaw in Ali's character that was a disappointment. God Bless them both.
Joe has always called Ali, Clay his 'slave name' as Ali put it himself. And Joe did insist in calling Ali Clay, that's when Ali started loosing respect for him but has always loved him. And Joe did loved Ali too.
Why call him “Greatest” ? “boy”, “ugly”, “monkey” were some of the words Ali constantly used to describe Joe. He used hit and run tactics and cheated using ropes to avoid getting hit, he had average boxing skills, was easy to hit when not on the run as exposed by a more skill full boxer Henry Cooper.
@@daveoliver5838 Frazier beat Ali decisively in their first fight. Ali beat Joe decisively in their second and third fights. He had Joe in trouble in the second round of the second fight- the referee, Tony Perez, got in the way. He TKO'd Joe in the Thrilla in Manila. Not sure what fights you saw. You .might think of Ali as having "average boxing skills "- but you're in a distinct minority. A very distinct minority.
@@stuartperry1047 Joe beat Ali in both fights, landed bombs after bomb in Both. I believe Ali couldn’t take Joes punches in the first and was on banned PEDs and pain killers for the second match, he should have been drug tested immediately before and immediately after the fight. I’ve yet to watch the third one, I’ll comment later. Basically Ali was a hit and run merchant with little defensive boxing skills, hoping to tire the opponent in chasing, not really what you expect from a proper boxer. As is obvious here, he came off worse during the exchanges when he stood and fought, hence the non-stop running away from Joe throughout.
@@daveoliver5838 You're the first person I ever heard that mentioned Ali taking pain killers for a fight. Any fight. Pain killers make you drowsy. Those fights with Frazier went the distance- except the last one. You may also be the only boxing fan in The Universe who hasn't seen the last fight with Frazier. The best one. If you haven't seen the video on Ali's Defensive skills- then you need to. No heavyweight ever slipped punches like Ali. The U.S. government took away 3 years of his prime- and Ali still came back and beat a whole new generation of fighters. Guys like Quarry, Bonavena, Foreman, Lyle and Shavers. Speaking of Henry Cooper- he always gave Ali the highest praise. He never squawked about losing, or about being cut. He was a stand up guy. Still find it strange that you have never seen the last Frazier. You're in a very distinct minority there, too.
Great, fantastic and immortal Joe Frazier!!! Respect forever!!!
Ali gave everything for Boxing, but boxing took him a lot
They say you never really know a man until you fight him.
Muhammed Ali was cruel and mean. As much as I like Ali, for his stance on Vietnam and other things I can never forgive him for The way in which he treat Joe Frazier. Anyway I am glad he lost decisively in the fight of the century with a swollen jaw. Joe frazier was a gentleman
Ali liked to play with his opponent
Ali was ahead of his time.he knew causing a drama would make their fight big
Well said.
He was selling the fight. He accomplished that. Frazier won that 1st fight by unanimous decision. Well deserved. Ali proved to be right about Vietnam btw
@Romeo J George Foreman's kids wasn't being bullied in school because of Ali. There is a difference.
Marvis Frazier such a gentlement
both are one of a kind type of men. Frazier is the man !
I always thought Ali was promoting and selling the fight so they would both get paid big $
He was. However, his personal attacks against Joe Frazier had an incredibly damaging impact on Joe's name and reputation, and his standing with black people. He may have gotten the money, but he never felt that he got the proper respect he deserved from his own people. He felt that Muhammad Ali told lies to make the black people think he was an Uncle Tom sell out to his race. You just can't fix doing something like that to a friend, and fellow black man who helped you out in your time of need, by saying I'm sorry years later. That's why Joe Frazier had such a hard time forgiving Muhammad Ali, no matter how many times he tried.
@@apefilms7221 joe kept calling him clay,thats why ali got personal. you can see the interviews,ali gets angry and calls people uncle tom when they call him clay and same happened with joe too.
@@fuseydunae397 WRONG!! Joe Frazier was a loyal friend to Muhammad Ali when Ali first lost his boxing license. He gave him money and did all he could to help him get his license back. Once he got his license back, Muhammad Ali betrayed his friend Joe Frazier. As a result, Frazier started calling Muhammad Ali "Clay" to retaliate against Muhammad Ali for all the things that Ali was saying about Joe. Frazier felt that Muhammad Ali didn't deserve the respect of being called Muhammad Ali because he was a two-faced, lying phony. That was why he continued to call him "Clay" in the lead up to their first fight, and for years afterwards. Joe was super pissed off about being betrayed as a friend, and for all the insults that Muhammad Ali called him. Joe continued to be pissed off about it for the rest of his life. Muhammad Ali did eventually apologize and say he was wrong for doing what he did to Joe. Near the end of his life, Joe also apologized for making fun of Muhammad Ali and his Parkinson's disease. In a filmed interview, Joe teared up and said that he wished Muhammad Ali could enjoy his old age the way the rest of us do, because he's earned it. Joe also made a point of addressing him as Muhammad Ali, not Cassius Clay.
@@apefilms7221 well said 👍🏻
Joe Frazier was a wonderful human being. I wish I could have met him! His son is a class act as well.
funny how they didnt introduce this young man at the beginning, cuz you can see who he is anyway^^
It was great to see them both embrace each other and the end of their career. Great sportsmanship. R.I.P. Both of you...
1:33 - this melts my heart "the good lord will work it out" praise God man
Both of them were the greatest
Everyone talks about Tyson and his power, Joe was no joke, one of the best left hooks ever, very humble, didn't brag and a family man.
Joe has better heart but I still think Tyson would win. But Joe fraizer is one of my favourite boxers
@@Narration___Nation He couldn't forgive Ali for what obviously were loud mouthed fight promotions even after Ali explained it various times, Joe just couldn't let it go.
Tyson power is No joke he will win I dont think even ali will win against prim tyson
@@CALSSY_1 Ali said the same on Arsenio.
@@drr3275 Tyson prim was over power Even tha world called him Badest man on earth And Iron mike To fast and to strong And young 😂😂😂
They loved each other everbody knows that
Thank you :)
you can see just how close Marvis was with his father.
Marvis has his father class!
@@lilgrease7292 absolutely,
Two legends who needed each other to cement their legacy in the ring. What those two mean inflicted on each other over their great trilogy...how could they not have the respect of the warrior for each other? I truly think they probably took a few years off of their lives with those magnificent battles. They just don't make them like that anymore. Great era ever! No other era is close. Much love and respect for both of those men!
There needs to be a behind the scenes film made about these two as that would be beautiful!!
Absolute true American legends. From the UK.
Muhamed Ali did it for the show! He made boxing fun!
@Sungjung Ro Exactly!! Ali didn't really need a promotor lol!! When he opened his mouth, he promoted his fights!! From what I could see and gather Frazier was really jealous of Ali's great ability in the ring..I heard Frazier with my own ears put Ali down because Ali could throw landing punches while stepping/dancing backwards..Frazier had ONE DEMENTION to his boxing style, while Ali had many, such as boxing on his toes, circling to his left, unbelievable combinations, lightening fast punches, great stamina, ability to think on his feet..Ali was in a league of his own, and Frazier was a one dementional fighter..Frazier was insane in the ring, because he would do the same thing over and over believing he would get a different result..THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY!!
Rubbish, Ali set out to humiliate and demean that man because he hated him. It wasn't for promotion.
@@sweetazzpiew8490 Ali talked trash about all his opponents,he really did promote his on fights and the way he spoke. In my opinion I think Joe took it to heart and did not get over Ali’s trash talking, just my opinion.
@@febe11111 I think he took serious because it had affected his kids
@@tlig Never be called "Promotion for fight". Its mean!
The three best fighters of all time. Ali, Frazier and Foreman. May God bless Ali and Frazier for all they have done for boxing. Joe Frazier beside being a great boxer was also good and kind human being. I miss them both.
Iron mike
@@CALSSY_1😂😂😂
I watched the i am ali documentary a month ago on netflix its great rip muhammad ali
I don’t buy that ali saw Frazier as a representation of what’s wrong with how the world treats black people, if that were true Frazier wouldn’t have helped him out when the nation turned on him. After all it’s wasn’t Frazier using white supremacist talking points to describe Ali it was the other way around...
Frazier gave Ali money when he was in exile and Frazier went to congress and the 2 boxing commissions to help him get his boxing license back
You gotta respect Smokin Joe. I don’t think he would’ve fought like he did in the first fight if Ali didn’t get to him like he did. Frazier went in that ring not only to defend his title, but to finally let out all the anger he had for Ali. It wasn’t personal to Ali, but it was for Frazier
I see a lot of comments stating Ali was just trying to sell this fight. This fight did NOT need selling. Ali did Joe wrong, by doing that, but come on these guys loved each other in the end.
I agree Ed it took something away from his great aura when he did that. I think even Ali probably knew that if he could do it all over again he would not have acted like a child with all the nasty name calling.
Thank you
Howard Cosell had assured Joe's manager that he would sit in between Ali and Joe during the interview. And in the studio he changed that order and kept his commentary running when an actual fight broke out. Joe's manager called him an unprincipled man before leaving the studio.
Thanks for sharing,Keith a Frazier fan first
I liked Joe Frazier and Mahammad Ali. I think Ali sometimes took it to far. Ali was for the most part joking but I think Joe Frazier took it Personal and Rightfully so.
Lavoisier Harper ...Ali was a self-promoter, Harp! Beneath all of that, Muhammad Ali and Joseph William Frazier were great friends, and it's documented.
@@brucescott4261 Yeah I believe that.
Smokin Joe Frazier was a class act!! My favorite heavyweight.
Two greats.......
Marvis was a fine heavyweight in his own right.
Ahh..
Uuuhhhhhhhmmmmmm.....
Have you seen his fight against Iron Mike? He lost to him in just 30 SECONDS.
@@LITTLE1994 I did and his career shouldn’t be defined by his two losses. He wasn’t in Tyson or Holmes’ league.
I don't know about that lol
Marvis you are a sweet soul
Boxing would never be Boxing with Joe Frazier, Ali, George foreman, Tyson etc
Joe was a great boxer, short and powerful, but as usual they stay lol to long
Hana Ali is so beautiful
Two Legends RIP 🙏
I would be proud if i was Joe's son too.👏🥊
I just love Ali. Loved him for almost 50 years but... I don't find him funny at all when it comes to Frazier.
These men are the reason I watch boxing at all. I’m sure that’s the case for many.
This was the only part of Ali that i really hated . He could be so ficious and racist towards his own "brother" . God bless joe frazier and God bless the GOAT
i love them both..frazier and ali are both legends
Joe Frazier 'Smoking Gun!', A legend in his own right regardless of what Muhammad Ali said. Last night I saw a 'this is your life' documentary, and Muhammad was ever so pleased to see Joe. He was most touched by his presence. I am so happy they ended up being great friend when all was dusted and done. Joe's and his wife education can be seen shining in this interview. Well done Marvin, you do indeed represent your 'Pap'.
Both of them wrong to eachother at those early times...but they took it in a sports spirit...but the medias always made controversies and stories of hate
I love Muhammad Ali and I know he was trying to promote the fight.. but he hurt Joe's feelings and Joe Frazier was the type of person he just wanted to be cool with everybody he wasn't a trash talker... I love both of them🥊.. but I wish Ali didn't do that it was too much🤦🏾♂️
tears
Joe must be a class act, because his son Marvis is a true class act himself.
Marvis is a great guy and is so proud of his pop
Sometimes what is said...goes beyond selling or hyping the fight...it becomes personal if you touch on a unfavorable subject the opponent may have experienced...Joe Frazier...from the get go...refused to acknowledge the man's name "MUHAMMAD ALI" he even refused to mention his name at ringside in Zaire (remember?) He kept referring to Ali as "my man" some of yall didnt even notice that cause...some of yall was probably hating too...but its cool...some of those things Ali said went beyond promoting the fight and...not only did Joe Frazier not like it...more of the public than we knew...didnt like it neither! I loved Ali and I was blinded by my admiration for him but...as time went on...i had to seriously take a look at that situation and as a adult...put it in proper perspective. Ali still remained my man though...and he's still the GREATEST! Joe Frazier climbed his own mountain and...when MUHAMMAD Ali was in his way...that "near" knockout in the 11th and...that knockdown in the 15th back in 1971 taught Ali a little lesson about all that talk...And history will never let us forget that! Joe Frazier was a mean mutha who held his own!
Congratulations for you comment my friend. I've seen so many hard trash fans worshiping Muhammad Ali to the point that he was always right even when he ( sometimes ) was really wrong, so It's really Great to read an objective and such accurate comment. Thanks again !
Then Ali kept talking and beat him 2 more times
@@jaybreacher4430 YEAH HE DID...AND HE PRETTY MUCH GOT AWAY IN THE SECOND FIGHT...BECAUSE HE WAS EXTREMELY MORE FOCUSED THAN HE WAS THE FIRST FIGHT...BUT...HE TOOK A HELL OF A BEATING IN THE THIRD AND FINAL FIGHT...JUST TO WIN BECAUSE...HE UDERESTIMATED FRAZIER AGAIN! HE "THOUGHT" FRAZIER WAS SHOT...HE FOOLED HIMSELF!🤣FRAZIER'S STATUE SHOULD BE STANDING AT THE TOP OF THOSE STEPS WHERE THAT STATUE STANDING IN PHILADELPHIA RIGHT NOW AND...SHOULD HAVE ALWAYS BEEN STANDING THERE!
EVNSTVN 58 either man would rather die than lose to each other, Ali was far ahead on points in Manila but both men had nothing left in the tank. Frasiers corner folded. ALI wins.
@@jaybreacher4430 JOE FRAZIER USED TO RUN UP THOSE STEPS IN REAL LIFE...BEFORE ANYBODY EVER HEARD OF ROCKY AND ITS NEVER EVEN BEEN MENTIONED...THATS A SHAME TOO...MAYBE ONE DAY THEY'LL CORRECT THAT...HE MOST DEFINITELY DESERVES...THAT!
Joe Frazier helped a struggling Ali with money when Ali needed it and this is how Ali paid him back??? cursing on Joe calling him names insulted even his family?? there was also a dark side on M.Ali but there was NOT a dark side on Joe Frazier , Joe WAS MORE A TRUE MAN than anybody else back in the day!!!!! no need to insult the man that helped you when you were down and out just to sell tickets??!!!!
branco6942 This is the complete truth and Ali has no excuse for it. I am sure that even if Joe is such a good person, he has never forgiven him.
Goes to show n especially in combat sports that what’s in the game do not stay just in the game.
Ali was extremely cruel to Frazier, considering Frazier was there for Ali at Ali's lowest. The contempt Ali had for Frazier makes no sense to me. I understand that perhaps prior to their first meeting in the ring, Ali must've looked at Frazier and an unworthy champion because Frazier didn't go through him to claim it. I somewhat understand that resentment. But even building up to Thrilla in Manilla when Ali had claimed back his title, he still displayed deep contempt for Joe. He called him a gorilla and all other kinds of insults. I didn't understand that. Ali had a name for all his major oppenents. He called Sonny a big ugly bear, called George Foreman the mummy, called Floyd Patterson the rabbit etc...so I guess that's just what he did. but with Joe it was borderline hate.
Please watch This is your life Muhammad Ali on youtube when Frazier comes out and you will see that there is no contempt he was simply selling a fight but I agree very stupidly .
Of all those fighters kids of that era, Marvis the most intelligent and dignified spokesperson. Ali’s daughter was referring to the opposition to black advancement/Vietnam war by black folks which (according to her) transposed onto Joe as sort of a “Tom” (which she correctly states was undeserving towards Joe). Marvis’s a good man like his father stated in his bio.
There’s no way you could not know that’s Frazier’s son. Frazier was a great man. May he Rest in Peace.
I called the gym years ago and Marvis answered the phone "hello this is Marvis". He told me about membership and lessons and you could tell that he was a nice guy. A secretary next door told me Marvis would call to see how her mother was doing because she told him about her mother being sick. I'm a lawyer and have been in front of his daughter Jackie, who's a Philly Judge and treats lawyers and everyone in her court with respect & a class act. Just a genuine family. I'm disgusted that the City did nothing to keep that gym open. It's was a historic site and now it's a furniture store..
Lovely lovely man..
Everyone forgets Joe tomming against Ali calling him Clay on talk shows and in the press laughing while Alis title got taken and then after Ali lost in 71 after nearly killing Frazier in the ring and putting him in the hospital in intensive care from the hematoma on his head Joe didn't really wanna fight him again so joe avoided Ali for a few years by not giving him a rematch. Ali who lived and breathed to be the Champion was infuriated by this fighting every heavyweight that drew breath hoping to get that rematch that Joe wasnt so eager to give him. Hence some bad blood namecalling etc. But Joe was just as guilty in the beginning as Ali was after. Ali didnt have to give Frazier the shot in Manila. He did it not only to win a second time but he loved the fierce competition and respected Fraziers heart and toughness. Most of his gorilla manila talk was in jest of course to sell tickets but he also knew he was upsetting joe n did it anyway. So Ali got more than even and maybe took it too far but all these years later noone cares too much about the quarrels they resolved on several occasions. They love both fighters to the moon and back. They were BOTH great men that did the world proud. Champions FOREVER
@Fred Hofmann You are right on, Ali loved Joe and did regret how he treated him but it does take 2 to tangle.
Thanks for sharing that! People forget the full story
You had to love how they showed respect for these two in Bad Boys 3
At the end of this video, marvis said they came together and embraced, but that was only for the camera, Joe Frazier died HATING Muhammad Ali, and I don't blame him, I LOVE THESE TWO GUYS, they are forever locked in BATTLE and made a significant tribute to BOXING HISTORY 🥊
lover both of them and humble big George too
Joe frazer was my favourite boxer after all time . never called his apponents. He had the heart of a lion.
There was supposed to be a hatred but why would Frazier travel to England to honour Ali on a "This is Your Life" programme in the 70's?
I don't follow boxing anymore. Does this kind of respect exist now days with two formidable opponents. They smash each other in the ring, yet truly respected each other and became the best of friends, and I mean real friendship, not one for the cameras.
50 years ago ....The Superfight, the greatest heavyweight fight of all time happened....Muhammad was the GOAT....but that night, Joe was the better man, and that left hook?! OMFG
😇🥊 rest in paradise .. to the trio...howard ..joe and muhammad , respect to your sir.. your father was NO DOUBT A KING... IN AND OUT THE RING
Only Moslem rest in paradise and ali is very smart gay
@@achrafrouaiguia7998 I do not agree with your miss spelt reply!! ...
Ali should said to him brother show your back and he was wrong to hurt his really friends in front of media Ali wanted to make jokes but jokes could hurt best friends he was think right we all know no one is perfect we can make mistakes and feel it sorry peace and rest both legendary
"I made him what he his now" Joe Frazier.
Joe frazier was a true gentleman, and a lion in the ring, Rip Joe,
Joe frazier was like a Lion, fearless, and a brilliant boxer, my favourite boxer of all time, (R, I, P, JOE FRAZIER), 💓💓💓
Once, when Ali was nearly bankrupt and having trouble paying a dinner bill in Philadelphia, Smokin' Joe (then the heavyweight world champion) heard news of it and invited Ali into his limousine. Joe reportedly gave Ali $1000 and Ali was very grateful in the limousine.
@1:40 “Oh you Joe’s son.” ? How you doing ? You looking alright therrrre.”😂😂😂 Sound just like Ali. 🥊🥊
The more Ali footage I see the more I like Frazier. These two guys needed each other to become legends. Like a CR7 Messi for example
While Ali was wrong to insult Frazier, Frazier insisted on continuing to call Ali “Clay” long after everyone else called him Ali. Frazier was not simply a victim.
Y'oure right, Frazier is not simply a victim, i totally agree. But who went really the most far between the 2 ? frazier or ali ? Wich one called a black brother an oncle tom, (and was dead serious when he said it ) on the parkinson show in 74 an so many other times ? No of course, Frazier isn't a simple victim, he said many things he shouldn't say about Ali's sickness mainly, but everybody can understand the biterness of an old who finished alone, forgotten and broken while the other is now seen ( thanks ALSO to the brainwashing medias ) as a semi god or an angel which was once on earth while he just was human.
Paperback I don’t disagree with much of what you’ve written here. However, “the brainwashing media” label is extremely tired. While he wasn’t an angel or god, Ali was genuinely heroic .
@@mangoglounge7977 I don't think Joe thought that.
Um I don't see that. What Ali did which you and I thought of was entertaining and building the gate was a downright a cruel thing. Think abut it. Ali was an outcast, Joe helped Ali, loaned him money, testified for him in Congress etc. to get him back in the ring What Ali did really messed with his family, thats to far. If joe said somethings it was at Ali, period not his family. Ali calling Frazier a gorilla, ugly and his children used to get into fights in school because kids are cruel and called them son and or daughter of the gorilla and so forth. When i found this out, I could see why he said what ( i thought was terrible)he said about Ali's Parkinsons. Heck did you ever read the time George stopped Joe for going to go after Ali, while having parkinsons, at some function? Joe had a lot to drink and started having flashbacks of all that stuff. George got in front of Joe to keep him away from Ali. George said Joe was really mad, he wasn't kidding around.
@@emzid5105Actually Ali was the victim, Joe Frazier slowly gave Ali parkinson disease.
Nobody likes their father being mocked.
They should have never stopped that last round in Manila
You are crazy man!
If they fought the 15th round it would have been a knock out either way.
Erik Barone ...Do you like to watch boxers getting killed in the ring?
Hana Ali looks like her dad in all the right ways ❤
5:20 This is ALL that matters. Thank you and good night
Both were great boxers
goat
he really is the spitting image of his dad
I wish boxing was like boxing in back in the day
For every mean thing that Ali said and did, he got his just reward by his own sparring partner Holmes and god himself. To be in frame of mind tht you are invincible and then being thrashed like garbage must have sobered Ali in his later years
I absolutely love Muhammad Ali but Joe Frazier acted like a man before and after the fights far better than Ali, who always seemed to be in fight selling mode he went to cruel places regarding Joe's looks which were simply ridiculous he probably meant no harm but for me it took a little of his beautiful warm aura and light away when he did that. Joe Frazier by the way was a boxing great no doubt about that.
Peace Love and Respect for both my Elders. I believe Ali went too far even though I think he was only trying to sell the fight. But nonetheless, 🖤☪️✊🏿
Rocky Balboa stole Fraziers image AND made more money---even has a statue in Philly
Can someone answer to my guestion please,were they stay enemies in their last life or they forgave each other?Was there friendship between them or not?
They were good friends outside of the ring.
