Was Muhammad Ali on that :mjpls:

[DrX]

Ali regretted it......in later interviews

 

[AmenhotepIV]

Man yall be thinking about this shyt to deep

Everyone says or does something they should apologize for in a day, week, month, year....thats the conscious and values that u or family or religion or business put in you

Ali had issues way worst tham that
All our leaders or role models gonna have moments that make u say WTH.

Its all in the game

Why did you make this thread?

Just wanted to read y'all's opinions about the video.

 

[Koapa]

It was a boxing promotion. Did Ali go too far? Yea but you have to sell your fight to make money.

Ali actually respected Frazier. You have to do ur research bruh.

 

[PhonZhi]

I hope all of you who think Ali was a "c00n" and wants to tarnish his name and legacy for that also feel the same way about these rappers today who literally promotes and glorifies the destruction of the black community in their music

He had to sell the fight by continually depicting a black man as a gorilla?

Stop with the outrage bruh. Ali's promotion worked. Turned out to be the most legendary fights ever. Just becuz u talk shyt about somebody, doesnt mean u are directly that at the entire race. Hopefully you're smarter than that.

Ali repented and apologized for his treatment of Frazier.

 

[Akata Man Bromo]

"Colourism doesn't exist tho"

Who said that

 

[filial_piety]

He and Frazier were close friends afterwords for years tho...I know Joe Frazier's niece...and after Ali died she posted a pic of Ali, JF, and a few of his nieces and nephews....with her getting a kiss on the cheek from Ali.

This pic was taken around the mid-late 80s.

 

[Ribbs]

Wish I could one star this.

Ali repented and apologized for his treatment of Frazier.

(After the Thrilla in Manila) Ali: "I said a lot of things in the heat of the moment that I shouldn't have said. Called him names I shouldn't have called him. I apologise for that. I'm sorry. It was all meant to promote the fight."

 

[Apollo Kid]

I think until the day he passed Frazier was still pissed at Ali because he never apologized to him directly.

 

[Address_Unknown]

Ali repented and apologized for his treatment of Frazier.

Apparently this video was in '78, three years after their last fight. I know beefing celebs often go on telly together for relevance, pay and social approval and what's not, but I'd want to believe times were just a little bit different back then and they both got over it in lieu of an actual apology, But as I said, I never followed this shyt indepth.

Did Ali continue to ride Joe after the Manila fight? I could google it, but since Ali just died and every two bit writer is coming out of the woodworks with pieces, I don't want to get caught up in bullshyt.

 

[BlackMajik]

That was one thing he REALLY should not have done

He apologized to Joe and Joe accepted his apology but that was wrong

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Joe Frazier deserves better man. They got a statue for fukking rocky in Philly, but not Joe? Foh.
