Out of the BILLIONS of men who lived during the various centuries of boxing history only one man can say he won the greatest fight in history. (Thrilla in Manila)
3244 gorilla. Everyone knows you are a Frazier fanboy and rip Ali in every video. BTW you have no future a judge. This fight was very close. Many ringside observers had it 7-7-1 or 8-6-1. Get over it. The fight was so close Frazier spent a month in the hospital because of the beating he got even though he won.
DAMN! This is the very first time I've seen this fight and I am stunned! Frazier is one Hell of a fighter and can't miss with that left! His punches sound like Tyson's and I loved it when he pulled Ali's ass off the ropes and back to fighting. God Speed Joe!
@Arong36 Hmm, thanks for the info. I found that low guard painful to watch. I actually asked another boxing aficionado about it last night, and he said Ali was beginning to decline by that point and also keeping his guard low to block body shots...?
@yeasayer Thats also true,(and Ali knew this too) you can see how he adopted a different way of fighting later on, especially in the Foreman and Fraizer fights you can see it. Hugging the ropes, trying to tire them out.
son12509: DITTO!!! I had it 11-4 as did one of the 3 Judges. Look at ALL the holding/neck grabbing, clinching Ali employs to avoid on-going onslaught! Imagine point deductions against Ali by today's standards & the way the final s-cards would've read...Ali admitted numerous x's that he got his ass kicked. Get over it, Ali-fanboyz.
@gypsycostello777 It's a fucking disgrace that theres a statue of rocky in PA, lmfao a fake fighter. When one of the greatest born and raised there gets no recognition?
I never saw a boxer get away with putting his gloves on the back of his opponents head more that Ali. If it wasn't for that little cheat Foreman would have beat him and Frazier would have ended that fight sooner.
R.I.P Smokin' Joe Frazier. I remember playing with him all the time on greatest heavyweights boxing for sega genesis. This proves Ali IS NOT best in the world. Frazier never lost in his prime. It wasn't until years later he finally lost after this fight. For all Ali lovers... Smokin Joe beat down Ali, so the same comparison will be said for all the Ali vs Tyson debaters. No offence to Joe, but Tyson was 10x scarier inside a ring than Joe. I'm speaking about everyone being in their prime.
Joe Frazier was one hell of a boxer with a devastating left hook who, in my eyes, was one of the few boxers out there capable of making Muhammad Ali sweat and hurt.
Rest In Peace, Champ. One of the Greatest heavyweights of all time, and one of the finest men to walk the earth. Part of my youth has passed today. You will be missed. Thanks for the memories.
@Arong36 yes that's true and it was called the rope-a-dope
