@9162vb48 Well, he never called Ali names back even when Ali called him every name in the book. He actually HELPED Ali when they took his boxing license by giving him money to get back on his feet and helped him get his license back. If that's not a man with integrity then what is?

[preo2]

This fight went on at least two knockdowns too long.

[FireballerMac22]

what year was this fight?

[djk28161]

Inhumane..not 1 oz competitive was either fight..

[orlandorays]

RIP Angelo Dundee. You can hear him frequently in Cosell's call, especially at the end when he was screaming for them to stop the fight.

@adamelliott11 lol yea some people refuse to give the man his due credit for living a life with tremendous honor. the movie rocky was written with frazier as the core fighter, afterall frazier hit meat in freezers and was a man of the people in philly

[adamelliott11]

@jabb69 you shut that mother fucker up real quick

[jabb69]

@9162vb48 he was man embedded in his community, a man of his word, a man who loaned that dipshit ali 10 grand when ali couldn't keep his bills up--he ran a gym for fighters, he ran it free of charge to underprivileged, he was always honest and humble in his words of others and nothing but accountable. As far as he can't be racist to another man who is black, please, I am not sitting here taking race relations from you, he treated him in a terribly racist inferior way, simple as that.

[9162vb48]

Ali was immature & at times cruel in talking about Frazier -- but one black man calling another black man a gorilla can't be racist in that both men are black. That was simply Ali being immature & calling Frazier a childish name -- suggesting Frazier wasn't very bright

As far as Frazier having "integrity" --where is there any evidence of this? A great fighter, yes, but that doesn't mean he had integrity. He never displayed any compelling integrity in his personal life. If so, tell me when

[jabb69]

@9162vb48 ali was a racist as well, go by his own words, called frazier a guerrilla, a man who had more inegrity then ali in one pinky then ali in his whole body

DOWN GOES FRAZIER I LOVE THAT

[TheJorginhoss]

two great geniuses

"Down goes Ellis" is not as catchy as "down goes Frazier".

@jperez9805

Not so. Cosell had a condescending attiude toward Floyd Patterson, Willie Mays and several other black athletes.

His attitude was that of, say, F. SInatra -- meaning: "You okay if you're black as long as you stand within the orb of my celebrity." That was the attitude Sinatra took with S. Davis Jr. and it's the attitude of several people in Cosell's generation.

Ali didn't let Cosell get away with anything -- and Cosell knew it. Which is typical of a closet racist.

@9162vb48 Cosell called everybody "boy", regardless of color.

[9162vb48]

Cosell -- "Mister Obnoxious" -- just couldn't resist calling George Foreman a "boy."

[PackerBronco]

"Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!"

One of the greatest calls in sports broadcasting history.

[BBQFanNo1]

Frazier vs Norton and Lyle would have been very interesting.
