Ali, I got to see the Rumble in the Jungle and the Thrilla in Manila. On TV of course, but watched them live.352Raider » Sat Jun 04, 2016 8:35 am

As bad a man as he was, he had a great sense of humor, so in honor of the man, here he is in one of charity fightsphpBB [video]
and here he is getting beat up by Ruth Buzzi on Dean Martin's Man of the Hour show (if you ever get a chance to watch these shows, take it, some of the best ad lib humor)

I would think Ali deserves his own thread, rather than talking about him in one like this especially, lol.signal » Sat Jun 04, 2016 10:00 am

Alzado was one of the first major US sports figures to admit to using anabolic steroids. In the last year of his life, as he battled against the brain tumor that eventually caused his death, Alzado asserted that his steroid abuse directly led to his fatal illness.[11] Alzado recounted his steroid abuse in an article in Sports Illustrated,352Raider » Sun Jun 05, 2016 4:51 pm

Sure it's de-evolved into a knuckle dragging misogynists window into soft core porn ... But I intended this thread to be Better then that,
And still have hopes it will succeed.
Let's bring up the moral focus of (some of) the posts guys .... What do ya say??

Attyla wrote Sat Jun 04, 2016 8:51 am:Ali was a smart fighter. He out thought every fighter he fought even in his losses. Saddest day for me was when he fought Holmes. He had nothing left in the tank and you could see that Larry hated every punch he threw, since he had worked with Ali as a sparring partner. Tyson would not have stood a chance, Ali would have worn him down and taken his legs out from under him.
