@RyanRandyD Ali - 'a class clown'. Why talk such utter, utter crap? I like Frazier as a person far more than Ali, but by saying that Ali is a clown and nothing else is total crap and you've just mugged yourself saying it.
Joe landed a once in a career punch that sent Ali to the canvas in round 15. That was quite the shot, but even MORE amazing? Ali got right back up. Even a shot like that--and Joe was a hard puncher--couldn't drop Ali for long. Also: Joe took a ferocious beating in this fight, probably more than Ali took, but Joe is a great champion and he stood up to the punishment better--on this night. I would have scored the fight the same as Arthur Mercante: 8-6-1 for Frazier.
It's a shame that all of the fights had to be severely soiled by Ali's holding, that rewarded his passivity and allowed him to coast through much of the fight because he wasn't in peak condition. All that leaning/holding of a shorter opponent = a HUGE energy deficit for Frazier only, ESPECIALLY in the heat in Manilla-I still wonder if Ali/Dundee chose Manilla/Zaire quite deliberately for the unbearable HEAT.
i thought ali was undefeated for all of his career now ill think twice against hu is the best ever boxer. its out of sugar ray robinson, sugar ray lenord, mike tyson, fraizer and muhhammed ali.
you must not underestimate frazier as he is one of the hardest punchers of all time and don't say ali has a weak chin as he was able to ko foreman and he's one of the hardest punchers of all time
damn round 15...they used to go even more than that...glad its changed and the athlete isn't left half retarded after retirement any more, well less retarded...fighting evolves...used to be a die hard boxing fan...more of a mma fan now...fighting evolves...
Ali showed he didn't have a solid chin and he didn't have the power to stop Frazier. If he couldn't handle little Frazier, how would he do against all of these giants today like Wladimir, Vitali, and Lennox? All three would knock him out -I think anyway.
He beat Frazier twice, knocked out Sonny Liston, took on and beat Earnier Shavers (according to him, the hardest puncher he fought), and just disrespected Foreman.
The Klitchkos would have been finished early. As would Lewis. You don't know shit about boxing. Keep it moving.
@MsPsycho29 ali had one of the best chins of all time look how quick he got up from that frazier left hook and when ken norton broke his jaw he still finished the fight. Ali would dance circles around all of those fighters you just mentioned no way any of them could touch ali let alone knock him out
Leaving the outside-the-ring politics aside, what was remarkable about Ali in three fights with Frazier was not only his ability to stay in there and take Frazier's best without suffering a knockout, but to be competitive and actually win two out of their three matches. I recall one longtime observer, Frank Lotierzo, stating that out of all the great heavyweights who primarily "boxed" (Johnson, Tunney, Holmes), Ali was the only one who was strong enough to stay with Joe.
ali was the best but if u see him in any fights, against the big guys he holds on to them all the time, if he didnt he would get knocked out but he was fast and he was the best of all time
@stuballs42 Clay was a worthless coward who should not even be consididered an American, While he was boxing "childern" and calling those fights all the real mean were fighting a real battle......war.
@Pentagon1311 Yea, Vietnam was a just casue handel in an unjust way, But when you are called on by your country to fight you do what is asked of you just like most every black man, He refused to stand next to his brothers and box. That makes me sick.
@polishpio0neer1 His brothers? The ones who refused to serve him in a restaurant after he won the gold medal in boxing? A bunch of dirty politicians decide to invade a foreign country and herp de derp he must fight because the country is 'sacred'. That's a load of bullshit and you know it...
@Pentagon1311 Yes like my grandfather, He like me is african american and he went to earn respect from his fellow countrymen, I see you complain about segragation that is in the past, and hell the military dosent see color even back then.....well kinda.
@polishpio0neer1 I'm not criticising your grandfather but it's down to each person whether to join the military or not. It does not necessarily make anyone wrong if they decide to join or not to join except by their own convictions. Muhammad Ali had a lot to lose and NOTHING to gain by going to war. It's the same with all the rich white folk. The USA could easily defend itself without having to pound the shit out of some Vietnamese. In addition to that, black people were originally cannon fodder
Ali may have been "the greatest," but between the two men, Joe Frazier is the only one who had the other on the deck. In 41 rounds of boxing, Ali couldn't put Frazier off his feet, and Frazier will always be able to watch this "home run" he hit Ali in round 15 of their first fight. Frazier was all heart, the ultimate fighter's heart, and on March 8 1971 it was too much for Ali.
@FistFullOfMovies I am pretty sure Ali would have stopped Joe in that 15th round if Joe had been allowed to come out as Joe was on his last legs and I feel Ali would have had just enough to beat him inside the distance in that last round.
@dave10172 : As you stated yourself, "l feel....." wich is your personal opinion, like mine is that Ali would not have won it, don't forget that Ali told Angelo to cut off his gloves, and also watch Ali kinda collapse when the ref makes clear it's over......After this fight Joe's face was hurt, but Ali's entire body was damaged....to bad he didn't quit after this fight....
@FistFullOfMovies Ali NEVER told Angleo Dundee to cut his gloves off against Joe Frazier. Where do you people who know NOTHING about boxing get your information from? When Ali was a young 22 year old kid fighting Liston, Liston had linament in his hair and on his gloves. Ali told Dundee to cut his gloves off because"I'm going to kick his ass right now for cheating." You're reading the wrong stories for the wrong fights. Just like people who say Frazier broke Ali's jaw when it was Norton.
@bangitslo your an arrogant peice of shit ali did say to cut off his gloves. go watch the thrilla in manilla speacial alis trainer even said if joes corner wouldnt have thrown in the towel i dont think ali would have come out for the 15th round. ali even said in his auto biography "joe quit right before i did".
@sendtosw Well said man, I am desperate to see the whole first fight again, but I can't find it here on youtube!! Wouldn't you know they have the second and third fights up in their entirety, but I have seen only highlights of the first on youtube.
@XavierMarciano You can find companies on the Internet that sell dvds so you have it yourself and can play it. I have a copy that is not the NBC Greatest Fights Ever telecast, but the actual closed circuit telecast that went over the air live and people watching in closed circuit tv venues around the world. Pretty cool. Just do a search, not hard to find.
Ali is on his feet so fast, 2 seconds. The best ever
