Ali treated Joe like a piece of shite, which was pretty disgusting after all Joe did supporting him when Ali was stripped of his title


This. Joe helped Ali financially and went to bat to try to get Ali reinstated and licensed to box again.

Ali, leading up to their first fight was calling Joe an "Uncle Tom" and denigrating Joe in press conferences and it really got under Joe's skin. And that sting lasted for decades after their fights.

Ali said later he was just hyping the fight, but Joe took it personally.
