I saw the longer version of this interview on another thread. Tommy actually bucked on Mike too. He told him, "I ain't afraid of you Mike". I'm not sure if he said that before he had words with Ray or after, but I think Tommy's still a little punch drunk from his fights with him. I don't think he ever got over those fights. I always liked Ray's personality outside the ring...it runs in our family, which is a very humble family. But unfortunately, he has that personality that makes some fighters or wannabe fighters, want to challenge him. Then they get surprised.

lmao, they was just talking shyt it ain't that serious

eh, calling a black man a gorilla and stupid and all that just for existing is probably worse.

I use to think this too, until I actually studied the history

Ali compared all his opponents to animals, sonny liston was the big ugly bear for example

Fraiser was pissed at Ali for calling him the white man's boy or uncle tom, this is what pissed Fraizer off, and the entire black community turned on fraiser lmao

Yeah but Tyson sounds like he always sounded for the most part (which was terrible). I guess that’s what he’s saying. Tyson has stayed a fairly constant “terrible” his whole life lol
Pretty much. His voice is raspier, probably from smoking so much, but other than that he seems like hes always been. Mike been mispronouncing words for decades, but ain't like he's slurred and delayed now

You could get away with that back then, especially if you was Ali. But what snapped Joe, was when he called him ignorant during one those interviews before the second fight, and Joe stepped to him. They wounded up on the floor wrestling. If Ali hadn't grab him first, Frazier might have stole him. I'm glad nothing happened between Ray and Hearns.

These guys clearly have alot of love for each other and were just fooling around. Am glad we got to see these legends unfiltered and not act all reserved as they would at normal talk shows. Gotta appreciate em while they still around. Rest in peace Marvin.

I hear you bro, but seriously. we talk shyt to our buddies all the time, but it never go as far as getting in each others faces. And when it does, it's time to separate them. It's suppose to go even less far by two legends being recorded. That's why Ali had to grab Joe, when Joe stepped in his face. I'm glad Ray took the high road and sat back down. Speaking of Ali, I remember when he called Ray "The Rabbit" on the Arsenio Hall show, but I think that was the nickname he gave Floyd Patterson too. Anyway, I remember Ray embarrassingly saying to his hero Ali, "We're on national television, Ali".

A bit slurred sometimes but that's because he be high as shyt. I know ya'll seen the Ryan Garcia interview when Mike started dancing. :russ: I literally cried laughing.
