The GREATEST, he could handle his opponents in the ring, and the public out of the ...

... ring, during his exile, and the emergence of smoking Joe, ALI pulled off brilliant strategy, he literally forced himself back in the ring, by public demand, I read a story on him, that said, a person close to him, would tip off radio stations, news stations,
The newspapers, and state that Ali and Frazier were meeting up at a park, a gym, etc, to spar, the media would flock to it, only to find nothing, and this happened on many times, finally the public wanted him reinstated , so
Joe could shut his mouth, how much truth in it I don’t know, but if it was true , BRILLIANT strategy on ALI’S
Part.
