The greatest fight in history. I will never forget it. Nothing like it before or since. Mostly because one champ in each division. Made title fights a rare event. Awesome night.
Ali was king, imperfect or not, Ali Frazier 1 was Frazier's best fight, he never fought that well again, he wanted to kill Ali in that fight, Frazier never looked better, Frazier went down hill from there, Ali had a few more great fights including The Rumble in the jungle and The Thrilla in Manila, Frazier avoided Ali for 3 years until their first rematch in 1974, meanwhile Ali fought everyone and became champion again against Foreman, which was a work of genius.
@crownedful Wow, that's pretty pessimistic. I think Ali said the same thing about Joe Frazier that he did about a lot of his opponents, it was nothing personal. Funny thing is, Joe Frazier didn't even know what Uncle Tom even meant originally, he thought it was the same as a peeping tom LOL I think they both had great careers and had nothing to be ashamed of, they are both considered legends in the sport after all...
