Joe Frazier -vs- Muhammad Ali II 1/28/74 (abc) part 5

Held in between their two other bouts, Fight of the Century and Thrilla in Manila, the fight was considered by many fans and experts the most insignificant fight of their rivalry. But this does not mean the fight itself was insignificant ; quite the contrary: Ali wanted to avenge his loss to Frazier in their first fight, and a world title try at Heavyweight champion George Foreman, who had dethroned Frazier, was at stake. Their first and third fights became part of boxing's lore, but most viewers considered the second fight to be entertaining as well.

notice how Ali is fair play? Never hit the other guy when they're stuck to each other... never tries to hurt Frazier in a lousy way, when they're in each others arms... True player, real sportsman.

wow, look at how boxing was then and 20 years ago, so many good matches. Boxing was so much more interesting back then, today it sucks. Its so bad that i would like to watch cricket instead of boxing.

So true. Two great men in this fight who gave it their all. Very sad that this era will never be replicated.

"I've done wrestle an aligator, Tustled with a whale, Handcuffed lightning & thrown thunder in jail. Only last week I murdered a rock, injuried a stone, hospitalized a brick, I'm so mean I make medicine sick." - Muhammad Ali.
