40 years ago today Smoking Joe and Ali went at it what a fight that was.

Yeah it was...

And thanks because I almost forgot I was OLD!!!

Sorry Lucky I was 29

Wow, thanks Jeff... I almost forgot what real boxing looked like!!!

Your Welcome, Yip... No fireworks exploding and no Rap or Hip Hop music................. Just good old get down to it boxing.

Lucky you need to come down the pub with me for friday night fights.Cant promise its gonna be as pretty as clay but shit it'll be a bloody rippa fight....CHEERS BOOF

It's a shame they all got greedy and destroyed boxing with all the outragious purses and more importantly pay per view showing of all the big fights. I remember watching alot of Ali's fights when i was younger with my dad. He hated Muhammad Ali and always rooted for the other fighter no matter who it was, so i naturally loved Ali and all his antics. There will never be another time in boxing with such great heavyweights in my opinion.

I got to agree with Wheels. That was real boxing, and ya got to admit, Ali was the "Champ".

Must be an old guy thing but as a young boy in ohio I saw several of Cassius Clays first fights. He could throw a punch and "touch" your nose before a block could be started and that was "Just a FEATHER touch"....He had the right to be able to boast but other than in front of the news he was actually a quiet young man.
