Frasier. I think its sad that Frasier ended up so bitter and twisted. He ended
up with no dignity. Someone said that Frasier was finished after the 3rd fight
against Ali. I think Joe was shot after the first Ali fight. He had long periods
of inactivity and avaded the main contenders after then. Frasier was overated
for sure.|

don't understand why Joe Frazier is so angry with Cassius Clay. Cassius, during
his career, said bad things about all his opponents, and it was only for
promoting fights ! It happened 30 years ago, and wasn't,anyway, too
important. Joe should find the strengh to forgive( or of forgiving) Ali'.
Frazier probably wouldn't be recognized as a great champion without his
three fights against Ali'. Besides that, there were occasions in which Muhammad
spoke with great respect of Joe Frazier, for instance soon after the Thrilla in
Manilla. In that occasion Cassio Marcello said that Frazier was the second best
heavyweight of all time. There is no doubt that Joe Frazier was a champion, but
maybe he is only a worm as a human being.|

is human, he has made mistakes as all of us have also.Do we really
expect professional athletes to be better than say, for example, a plumber. The
plumber may drink too much, be bitter at others he workded with, and he may not
even treat his wife very well but we likely would never hear about it.I
admire Joe Frazier as a boxer and while I thought he had more character than he
might have, I have no way of knowing as I don't know the man and I have never
met him.Like I said, he is a flawed human being, no more or no less than
my plumber example.KOO KOO: what big men of today are you referring to?
Michael Grant? Lou Savarse? Jameel McCline? Lance "Goofy" Whitaker? Under
achieving fatsos like David Tua, Hasim Rahman, or Kirk Johnson? I would
say Mathis would do well against this crop of mediocre talent.I keep
hearing this is the age of the super-sized heavyweight but not one of them, with
the exception of Lennox Lewis has acheived anything close to greatness.
I will say it again, when someone such as Vitali Klitschko wins a major
title and defends it agaisn't all comers numerous times, then we can say that a
giant of today has shown greatness, not until then.On the other hand
when smaller heavyweights such as James Toney, Monte Barrett, Chris Byrd, Fres
Oquendo, Dominic Guinn, and Vissiliy Jirov are fighting at or near the top ten
level of the sport, this shows me the smaller men are doing at least as good if
not better than the bigger fighters.Once again, the Koo Koo Klock says
as if it is fact that the bigger heavyweights are better than smaller
heavyweights, because of their size and strength. But he never gives facts or
examples as to why this is so. |

EVERYWHERE, LEWIS BEAT HOLYFIELD BEACUSE OF SIZE AND SIZE ONLY, THE GREAT BIG
MEN LIKE I EXPLAINED BEFORE ARE IN OTHER SPORTS, FRAZIER IS BITTER BECAUSE ALL
THAT UNCLE TOM CRAP ALI WAS TALKING COULD HAVE GOT HIM AND HIS FAMILY KILLED,
ALI SAYING HE'S SORRY NOW MEANS NOTHING, THE DAMAGE IS DONE, FRAZIER HAVING TO
GO THROUGH OTHER BLACK PEOPLE THINKING ALI WAS COOL AND HE WAS AN UNCLE TOM, ALI
WAS A RACIST BIG MOUTH, HE RESENTED WHITE PEOPLE, IF HE COULD STILL TALK FAST HE
WOULD STILL BE SPOUTING HIS HATRED, HAVING SAID ALL THAT FRAZIER SHOULD ACCEPT
THE FACT THAT HE LOST THE FINAL SHOWDOWN W/ALI |

you fail to recognize is that boxing takes a specialized skill and this is more
important than physical improvements. Sure phyical improvement is more important
