Ali also referred to Joe Frazier as a “Gorilla”. Can you imagine today if someone referred to any black man as a “Gorilla”.

Joe Frazier was a very classy person. As is George Foreman, who after the controversy surrounding the Black Power salutes on the podium the day before, made a point to carry a US Flag, when he won his Gold Medal in 1968.

He’s a chickens**t draft dodging muslim. He’s no American or hero of any kind.

Clay/Ali was arguably the very first high-profile professional athlete to shamelessly trash-talk and embarrass his opponent. AND America. No example of a "hero" or sportsmanship for kids. I still don't understand how and why he could be admired.

He was a reprehensible, demeaning SOB-racist. I found no redeeming virtue in the man. How he treated Joe Frazier was unnecessary and despicable.
