    I watched a doco last night called 'Thriller in Manilla'. It portrayed Ali in a negative light.
    Claimed he was just a mouthpiece for NOI, that his viet cong comment wasn't his idea.
    And talked of his bullying of Frazier. It was very biased against Ali this doco.

    The nation of Islam was feeding most of that propaganda to him. The trash talk to Frazier was just for promotion.
    I found the hotel thing funny, how Ali brought a fake gun lol

    Thanks Chadwick for posting that. Ken Norton's son Jr went to be a very good player in the NFL winning several Super Bowls with the 49ers.
