this , he was humble during and after the fight let him brag a little this was his childhood hero. if it makes himself believe hel beat Whitaker so beitI like him actually.
hes confident in the right way and has a high fight iq.
I prefer that type of confidence to conors type
Edgy.Slip n slide, in and out, boy.
In and out.
A lot of white people hated him for obvious reasons. Back then, if you were a black athlete, you did what you were told and shut up. To add to that, he didn't want to fight in a war that he felt was unjust, which drew more ire from the average joe.
In summary, nothing wrong with being hated for standing up for what you believe in, as long as what you believe in isn't inherently hateful. Fact is, he went from being the most hated in the world to one of the most loved and respected.
That being said, the disrespect he showed Smokin' Joe is something that still annoys me.
Quality post. Lived in Philly as a kid and got to meet smoke at his gym back when he still had it. that was way after his career when he punchy and went by "Uncle Billy". Still a great dude and a legend, got to see em work the bag a few times even as an old timer he had that left hook.
Always kinda bothered by what Ali did to em outside the ring, but Ali himself regretted it later on and they eventually buried the hatchet. Doesn't change how much it must've sucked at the time having the whole world turn against you at Ali's behest lol.
Exactly. He's hardly flipping off Andy's corner and simulating burying him.
I'll tell you what's more disrespectful. Jumping and landing a huge punch on an already KO'd opponent and then bragging about it after. Yet Hendo still gets praise and respect from most on here.
Nice story. Must've been a hell of a moment.
On them burying the hatchey.. I nver thought they actually did. The last thing I remeber reading from Joe about Ali ws
"Look at him now. He's damaged goods. I know it, you know it," Frazier told Hauser. "...I don't care how the world looks at him. I see him different and I know him better than anyone. Manila don't really matter no more. He's finished and I'm still here."
Looks like he carried that hatred for him until his last days.
Bisping didnt deserve to get hit after the bell,get the fuck out of here w that bullshitto be fair, is someone deserved it it's bisping
the irish manlet (maybe that's why he gives up the submission so fast every time he's dominated, afraid of getting the same ) and Colby deserve the same treatment too,
Why?to be fair, is someone deserved it it's bisping

Liked him before but he's too arrogant here. He couldn't finish Silva who is 44 years old.
Feed Adesanya to Romero imo
