Blatter says racism is not a problem

I did not see his interview but I reckon he may be right on this one. People have always called each other names, even more so when being competitive, its just human nature. When my boys were playing rugby they were often called chinky bs etc, just made them play better as they knew they were getting at their opponents, plus their team mates backed them up.
No permanent harm done, some people are just ignorant. The way of the world.

Just watched the thriller in Manila fight again and in the run up Ali was calling smoking Joe an Uncle Tom, a really bad insult apparently.

Anyway that`s enough from this baldy, four eyed ex fat b

From one baldy to another I too watch that fight and the rumble in the jungle, back to back every few years with the occasional Elvis concert thrown in. This is why our VHS has, or had lasted so long. Like many my era, I was too tight to replace the tapes with the latest format

Back to boxing, I much preferred the fight in Kinshasa...it's strange how some boxers react after a beating. George became a Reverend while Hatton took to drugs and denial...he's still saying he was the better opponent.

Must be the times we live in.

Those were the days, sitting up all night to watch fights, and great fights they were too, and all for free, save the licence fee

I remember my first live late night Ali fight...it was against Jerry quarry...his first fight after getting his licence back.

I was very young then, it was my elder brother by 9 years and dad who got me into it.

It was all good until Chris Eubank got enticed over to sky, that's what ruined it for me although that was a good many years later than that first Ail fight I watched.

We had the best of it
