I saw some interviews with his son and him where his son and his family were after him to "let it go" with the Ali grudge.
But....that was also about the time the Ali movie and the When We Were Kings documentary came out - so it all could have been orchestrated. But Joe either got screwed out of money or mishandled it.
At any rate, he was representative of the hard-hat guys and Ali was representative of the peace movement and the liberals. When was the last time two fighters were representative of anything other than themselves? They didn't bite anyone's ear off back then - they fought.
