(6)拳王阿里和Joe Frazier另个打拳的
Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier
How it began: Boxers Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier initially faced off at Madison Square Garden in 1971 in the first of what would be a three-fight trilogy—and an epic rivalry. The competition became a stand-in for the racial tensions of the time: Ali identified as a civil rights hero who stuck it to the establishment as a conscientious objector and a newly-converted Muslim, whereas Frazier, in Ali's estimation, had "no cause" and was in the game "for the money alone." Unlike Ali, Frazier wasn't vocal about his politics (Frazier's daughter Weatta Collins told The New York Times that her father was never political and he "didn't care if people were Republican or Democrat.") As a result, Frazier was framed as a "Great White Hope."
Peak feud moment: For their third and final match-up, the "Thrilla in Manila," Ali frequently used the racially charged term "gorilla" to refer to his oppponent. With his win, Ali confirmed that he was indeed, as he proclaimed himself, "the Greatest."
Resolved: No. In Frazier's 1996 autobiography, Smokin' Joe, the heavyweight champ still held a grudge against Ali, even though Ali's luck had turned with the onset of Parkinson's disease. "Truth is, I'd like to rumble with that sucker again—beat him up piece by piece and mail him back to Jesus," Frazier wrote. "Now people ask me if I feel bad for him, now that things aren't going so well for him. Nope. I don't. Fact is, I don't give a damn. They want me to love him, but I'll open up the graveyard and bury his ass when the Lord chooses to take him." In an interview with the New York Daily News in 2011, however, Frazier claimed to have moved on. "I forgave him for all the accusations he made over the years."
起因: 拳击对手,然后由于政治,两黑人的比赛变成黑白大战
高潮:比赛中,阿里骂另个黑人猩猩,(怎么说的出口),后来赢了,成为最佳
和解:N, 1996 年, 阿里已经Parkinson综合症了,Frazier还是不原谅,2011年转为高风亮节
