    Looks like George Foreman, rope a dope fight.

    Foreman threw 23 punches in that clip, none landed.

    I just saw a quote from George Foreman. Something about Ali Frazier and Foreman are all one. Uhhh, no.

    Somebody find his whole quote, I'm at the gym. Maybe I missed the meaning.

    Larry Miller had him come talk to the team in Phoenix on our first road trip of the season. That's what the picture is from above. I was sitting in the lobby of the hotel and absolutely froze when I saw him walk in. Larry saw me and waved me over to meet the champ...... I was speechless and didn't dare take my camera out to take a pic. Told him my dad idolized him and raised me on his fights. Didn't say a word, looked up at me and raised his fist to my chin like he was going to punch me. I'll NEVER forget that experience!

    Down here in LA working a fight for HBO. If anybody has a chance to watch, we worked all day and edited together an amazing 9 min piece on him that we will go off the air with. Almost cried while building it. If you are a fan or not, you should check it out. We go on the air at 7:30...... Probably won't run til 9-9:30.

    Tell your producer it could be smart marketing to get his ass on the forum and listen to what the fans wanna hear. We could make a thread, a poll, post videos and some more shit! He could even take credit and call it something like:

    "Fans music choice highlight"

    Ok that name sucks.. but still you could sell it like that... lol.

    Oh that would work great. The music to every video would be the theme to the Benny Hill Show.

    Richard Simmons was taken to a Los Angeles hospital late Friday night after exhibiting bizarre conduct ... TMZ has learned.
    Sources tell us, Simmons was acting in an unusually strange manner just before midnight when someone at his Hollywood Hills home became sufficiently alarmed to call 911. Paramedics rushed to the home and evaluated Richard, determining he should go to a hospital for evaluation.

    I'm pretty sure Trump knew Ali. Don King, the big time boxing promoter of Ali's time, is a Trump supporter.

    Indeed.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/05/us/politics/donald-trump-muhammad-ali.html

    The two men had been friendly for many years, dating back at least to the 1980s. Ali attended Mr. Trump’s 2005 wedding to Melania Knauss in Palm Beach, Fla., and Mr. Trump appeared at Ali’s charity events.

    ...

    Mr. Trump was heavily involved in the boxing world for a number of years, often hosting fights at his casinos. In 1988, he threw a birthday party for Ali with 500 guests in Atlantic City. In 1991, Newsday reported at the time, he left a divorce negotiation with Ivana Trump to speak at an awards dinner for Ali in New Jersey, then returned.

    Over the years, Ali presented Mr. Trump with at least two awards honoring his charitable work. At a 2007 auction to benefit the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, the winning bidder offered hundreds of thousands of dollars to have a meal with Mr. Trump.

    Some took Mr. Trump’s message as a slight against Ali and other prominent Muslim athletes, and others as ignorance of Ali’s religion.

    Mr. Trump said the Twitter post was not meant to criticize Muslim athletes. “I’m saying, ‘What sport is he talking about, and who?’ I know there are many great Muslim athletes in soccer and other sports.”

    He added, “All I’m saying is, ‘I’d like him to name them because I agree there are some. That’s not a knock by any stretch of the imagination.’”

    Mr. Trump said he was well aware of Muslim sports stars. “I know who they are. I mean, look, Muhammad Ali is somebody that I’ve liked for a long time — and I know he’s Muslim.“

    Mr. Gunnell said Ali had not been concerned with what Mr. Trump said on Twitter.
