Who was he?   I can't remember seeing the name.

Just checked the news.    I still have the Thriller in Manila on the Vbox.   ESPN Classic is worth a watch for the reruns of the all time great fights.

That's a shame he's gone and relatively young as well  :\

I'm not into boxing at all (don't think it should be telivised etc ) but I'm sure Ali gave someone a right sore coupon for calling him Casius Clay after he'd changed his name ?

He kept hitting him ( not enough to put his oppnent down ) and tormenting him with " What's my name ! ) .

Was that Smokin' Joe or Foreman ?
