Ali fight fixes is ridiculous. People, he beat Frazier and Norton twice each.
Among those four wins, the only one that can possibly be questioned fairly is
the Yankee Stadium Norton fight. Norton was more aggressive but he missed an
awful lot. Look at the tape---I have. Ali was never hurt, though he did get
tagged a few times. Ali managed to control the pace of a lot of the rounds,
even though he never hurt Norton either. It was a pretty close fight and I
could see how Norton fans or Ali haters could make a strong case that Norton
won. Ali beat Frazier without too much sweat in their second fight and he beat
Norton in their second (his best performance against Norton), though again, he
had his hands full with Norton's awkward style. But I honestly can't see how
anyone could say Norton was robbed in the second fight. As for Manilla, it's
absolutely pathetic to hear Ali bashers argue that Frazier could have won this
fight. People, he was unable to come out for the 15th. Had they let him answer
the bell, Ali would have crucified him. Look at Frazier's face and head---a
swollen mess. The guy couldn't see. Ali was battered and exhaused, but ready
to fight and more importantly, able. Frazier was courageous and ready, but
clearly not able. This could have been a tragic disaster had they let Frazier
out for the 15th. And on the topic of judges loving Ali, while it's true that
he was the most popular among many fans, he was also the most hated boxer of his
era, maybe ever. So guys, it cuts both ways. People couldn't stand him. And
how do all of you explain why Leon Spinks was able to get the judges to give him
the win while Norton wasn't? Some questionable decisions maybe, but no fixes.

The comments about Ali were verbatim lifts from prior RS comments. Go back and
check. There was no exageration. Comments re janitors etc were put in by
School-marm to see what would get a reaction. Everyone here ignored the awful RS
comments about Ali (except Ernie), while blockheads like you picked up on the
stupid janitor jibes. It was an experiment to see what would get a reaction -
and only the trivial nonsense about janitors, and not the awfully cruel jibes at
Ali's condition, attracted the attention of Angelo.KentAs the
experiment showed, people here don't ignore stupid comments. They just ignore
the racist, cruel comments by RS, particularly when it relates to her despised
Ali. RS intimidates most of you, obviously. Some creep on this site - I
forget the fool's name - even had the hide to describe the prior posts of RS as
intelligent. Say what ? Belittling Ali by ridiculing his disease. Propagating
smutty allegations about Emile Griffith's sexuality. Alleging that fights were
fixed without producing one shred of evidence. Intelligent ? Come
on.Most of you guys said nothing about that. You only care when there is
a stupid little jibe at you.And what about Massimo. He should be
ashamed. Just because RS teaches him some meaningless slang, everything else she
did was alright ? Sheesh, Massimo, get some integrity. ErnieI
apologize for getting you going about Ali. You were the only person with enough
integrity and courage to stick up for him when none of the others would.
I repeat: the comments regarding Ali in the last couple of Ali posts were
direct lifts of what RS had previously written. |

apologize to you for being white. I am a big JQ fan, I've also stated being a
fan of Frazier, Norton, Lewis and others, by your logic does this make me a
Black Panther? You add so little to these discussions and call this site a '2',
you obviously feel better posting elsewhere. Don't let the door hit you in the
ass... Am I allowed to say I'm not an Ali fan without being called a racist? Is
anyone? He is the best I've seen, but I'm sorry, I didn't like the guy for
numerous reasons given. It is weak as hell to call me a racist for having an
opinion. You snipers out there have to be smarter than that to make a real
arguement. Blacks have posted here, George Foreman posted here. The Quarrys
had/have many black fans. Sorry, it just doesn't fly to say otherwise. |
