yeah, he was really reckless with his sex life and denied he had aids- I Wonder how his wife didn’t end up with aids- Drugs was a big issue with him, and prostitutes too I guess- He lived a life of high risk for sure- but the fact he didn’t tell women was not cool- But a guy with his looks and fame no doubt meant women throwing themselves at him, and being a druggie it was likely near impossible for him to say no- He was young, had loads of money, and many women wanted him- bad combo for some people sport’s celebrities unfortunately

There have been a number or really tragic cases in boxing- Sonny Liston was one such case- Sports like boxing seem ot attract people that like to live dangerously- live on the edge- high risk thrill seekers it seems-

What’s the story behind Sonny Liston.

I saw frazier, foreman and Ali on a talk show in ‘89.

Ali was on the way out, speech-wise. It was sad.

Still witty, just couldn’t get many words out
